Our Story
Who is Situ and what the heck is a Fatyre? Those are common questions we get! Situ means grandma in Lebanese and my situ is the inspiration for this company; in particular a family favourite she made - the Fatyre (fa-tie-er) or meat pie. We always looked forward to whenever she would make these!
The tradition of making these was passed down to my mother and now to me. When my daughters and I turned to a plant-based lifestyle we wanted to find ways to continue eating our favourite foods! We worked hard at making our favourite foods plant-based, and the Fatyre turned out so well we thought that we have to sell these! This is when the idea for Situ’s Kitchen started.
We started by trying out our Fatyres at a vegan fair and sold out before the end of the day! We knew we were on to something and that people are looking for some delicious, vegan, convenient comfort food and we came up with our slogan “Foods you crave, made vegan”.
What else have we craved and made into a delicious plant-based food? Cheese Pies and Calzones!
Our cheese pies are made with a tangy tofu feta that we make from scratch and then rolled up in flaky phyllo. These are available in Spinach Pies that have a touch of dill, or our Cheese Pies topped with Everything seasoning.
Our calzones are unbelievably delicious! We make our own dough, and fill the calzones with delicious pizza sauce and plant based pepperoni and cheese. For our Supreme Calzone we add in some peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
