My name is Guy and I am an energetic, passionate culinary professional with over 20 years of experience in the restaurant business. Born in South Africa and raised in Vancouver, I attended cooking school where I achieved my Red Seal Certificate. For nearly 20 years, I have lived and shared my culinary passion in Calgary, where I am currently working on building my own restaurant consulting business, including catering. Known for restaurant-quality cuisine and friendly service, I bring my expertise in menu development to every meal, creating nutritionally balanced delights that cater to all dietary needs. I have experience in a variety of cuisines including Canadian, Italian, Middle Eastern, Japanese, Thai, Vegan, Vegetarian, and more. Whether you need a private cook, a family cook or an event chef, I am your go-to culinary professional. In addition to cooking exceptional meals, I am proficient in other kitchen duties such as table setting and serving, preparing children's meals, keeping the kitchen clean, bakery/pastry preparations, purchasing products, washing dishes, organizing food for events, and supervising kitchen staff and helpers. I offer both part-time and full-time services and can start immediately. My availability spans across the week - from Monday to Friday I am available in the morning until evening, and on weekends I am available during the midday and evening. When it comes to culinary skills, I boast of my knowledge of modern cooking technology, sanitary and hygienic standards, and my experience in managing other employees. As a Culinary Arts diploma holder with a Food Handler’s Certification, I aim to bring to your table, not just my professional plating and catering experience, but a zest for life and a shared love for food that comes from not just cooking but also my travels and fitness pursuits. I believe in leading a balanced lifestyle, evident in my preference for a Live-Out arrangement. Dining, to me, is not just about food, it's about creating memorable experiences for those around me. I look forward to bringing these experiences to you.

I am an experienced Red Seal Chef with experience in global cuisine. I am proficient in menu development, nutritional/dietary needs and private dining.
