HotHuck's History
Brenda Hotte & Frits Huckriede sailing in 1995 HotHuck's was born at sea! It was in 1995, my husband and I were in the midst of a year-long sailing adventure through the waterways of Europe and the Mediterranean preparing for the long voyage across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. With an unknown landing date and limited refrigeration, preparing our food supplies was going to be challenging, and it forced me to look at food in new and unfamiliar ways. I have always been very interested in good, healthy food, and have a background in nutrition and food sciences, but up to this point I had only eaten fresh food. I knew plant proteins offered a wealth of healthy possibilities, but I craved that meaty texture and the versatility of ground beef. A month at sea and a boatload of unfamiliar food items gave me the time and tools to experiment. One creation in particular sparked my imagination, and when I got back to Vancouver, I used this idea as the starting point of HotHuck's. Our products have been evolving ever since, supporting good food, good health, fitness and adventure!
