Taste 'global Indigenous' chocolate and pastries from this Sudbury chef

It's February, which means one of the biggest chocolate consuming holidays of the year is just around the corner.

I'm talking about Valentine's Day.

So for this week's edition of Northern Nosh, I reached out to Tammy Maki. She's a Red Seal pastry chef and the owner of Raven Rising, an online-only shop based in Sudbury that launched in October.

Maki sells what she calls "global Indigenous" chocolates and pastry. I talked to Tammy recently and asked her to explain what that means.
