Gastro Gnome
Super Tasty. Travel Ready.
Gastro Gnome is a backcountry food company that creates super tasty, travel ready meals for people who appreciate great food as much as they enjoy getting outside. We make satisfying and nourishing packable meals using recipes from our favorite places on Earth.
At Gastro Gnome, we start by sourcing the best ingredients for our authentic comfort food recipes. Then, we make them travel ready, so they taste just as good when you rehydrate them at your campsite as they did when we first prepared them in our kitchen in Bozeman, Montana.
A former chef, restaurant consultant, and culinary school professor, Shannon has spent a lot of time in kitchens. Formally trained at The French Culinary Institute in New York, she went on to hold positions at some of the best restaurants in the country and gain skills and technique from renowned chefs.
Her love of cooking and the outdoors collided when she packed a heavy cast iron pan into the backcountry. That’s when she realized that if she was going to enjoy a great adventure and a great meal, she was going to have to find a solution for packable meals. That’s how Gastro Gnome got its start.
Shannon has taught at Montana State University and Gallatin College both in the Culinary and Hospitality fields and holds a Master's Certificate from Cornell University in Restaurant Management.
Shannon now eats a lot of really dry food in far flung places accessible by packable boat, mountain bike, or skis. When she's not out there, she's right here in the kitchen of Gastro Gnome.
