Our story
Baba Jo's Catering was born from a love for homecooked meals, inspired by the cherished nickname "Baba" for Bowie, the business owner's beloved dog, and "Jo's" for our talented chef, Joanna. We pride ourselves on blending Greek and Dutch culinary traditions with a farm-to-table philosophy, offering authentic and memorable dining experiences for every occasion in the Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, and Durham regions of beautiful Ontario.
