After a career interlude in the world of cruise ship wining and dining as a sommelier, a detour through the book industry as a managing editor, and a stopover in the land of French cuisine as a culinary instructor, Alberta native Randy Epp, decided to make a business of his family’s traditional hobby: soap making. When Randy was young, his grandfather and father made soap. Nowadays his sister produces goat milk soap on her goat farm in British Colombia and Randy has become Montreal’s very own soap man with company Parepp Soaps.
