Private/personal cook, Family cook, Cook for Childcare/School

I recently moved to Calgary from Jasper after living there for three years. During my time in Jasper, I spent most of my time working, cycling, hiking, and climbing. I also worked as a sous chef, collaborating with a farmer in the Robson Valley. This partnership allowed us to have fresh produce every week, giving me the opportunity to work with different ingredients, which was an exciting aspect of my job. Additionally, I oversaw the bread program, where we made sourdough and focaccia every few days, as well as butchering various types of fish and poultry. I also explored the world of fermentation with different ingredients, a great way to preserve foods that were unavailable during the winter months, while also reducing food waste. This approach allowed us to be more creative when curating our menu. Cooking has allowed me to travel to multiple countries and has given me the opportunity to explore different cuisines. From working in Lake Louise at the Post Hotel to Dubai as a sous chef in a fine dining restaurant, experimenting with local ingredients and delving into fermentation and the benefits it has on our wellbeing. My journey started in Calgary and I have just moved back to the city, working in the industry in Jasper prior to that. During my time there, I worked as a sous chef, leading the team and in charge of the bread program as well as making desserts/pastries. I have also worked as a head chef in a backcountry setting, curating the menu and cooking for groups of up to 30 people. Additionally, this summer I had a few clients for private dinners where I was invited to cook in their homes, which brings me to my current preference for this setting. I prefer this setting as I am able to focus on the clients and their needs, allowing me to shape the experience based on their preferred choice of cuisine.
