Basmati & Spice was founded by award-winning chef, bestselling author, and television personality Chef Bal Arneson and is proudly led alongside her daughter, Anoop. Together, they share a belief that food should nourish, comfort, and support healing.

Inspired by the philosophy that food is medicine, they set out to transform hospital dining by creating delicious, high-quality meals that bring flavour, wellness, and joy to patients, families, and healthcare professionals.

Today, Basmati & Spice serves communities in more than 900 healthcare locations through its partnership with Morrison Healthcare. From patients and visitors to nurses, physicians, and healthcare teams, every meal is thoughtfully crafted to deliver both exceptional taste and nourishment.

At Basmati & Spice, we believe healthy food should never come at the expense of flavour. Our mission is simple: to make hospital food healthier, more delicious, and more meaningful for everyone we serve.
