I am a culinary and pastry school graduate and mother who is incredibly passionate about food. I’ve been in the food industry for quite some time and have acquired many skills and much knowledge and am constantly learning as the years go on. I have experience in cooking for individuals, all the way to large groups of hundreds. I worked in catering for many years and in that time learned a lot about dietary needs and time management and menu planning. I’ve also worked in bake shops and a hotel. I also have a home business where I create custom cakes and desserts and breads and sometimes do meal prep. I am hugely passionate about helping people with meal prepping and being able to utilize everything you have and creating new meals from elements of old meals. I would also say that I’m very good at budgeting and shopping for ingredients and making it last. I have two small children and it’s been quite a journey learning how to cook for picky little eaters, but I’ve got the hang of it, I’d say. I come from a real melting pot family so I grew up with a very ethnic and open palette. I love experiencing and cooking food from all cultures and cuisines. I’m a very personable and silly person so I’d say I get along with most people and just love to create a safe and inviting space in and out of the kitchen. I have been working in the food industry since I started working at 14, but I’ve been professionally a chef and working in the industry since I graduated culinary/pastry school in 2015. Since then I’ve worked in a hotel, bake shops, and catering for many years. I started a home business during this time and have been doing that casually and steady since having my children and becoming a SAHM.

My name is Chloe, I'm 27 and from the UK. My hobbies include playing badminton, board games, video games, performing in & seeing theatre, sewing, cooking/baking, reading fantasy books and weight training. I am good at problem-solving, taking initiative and can be left to work with little direction. I am a fast learner & good at organisation. I have also worked as a self employed carer for 5 years for elderly and people with learning disabilities. I love to learn and have done multiple courses in my spare time including skincare & make up, sports & strength training and professional cookery (level 3 diploma). I have just finished a Level 3 Nutrition and Weight Management course and I am working towards a Level 4 RSPH Nutrition. I have done home baking and cooking for over 10 years and in 2022 I trained as a chef. While training, we did service for 70 covers every two weeks for 5 course set menu with a guest chef and I most regularly lead the dessert or bread courses as they were my favourite. I did a placement at a private school where they offered me a job at the end, I won two competitions at college and came second in a national competition where they paid for travel up to London. Last year I worked alone in a kitchen making focaccia bread every day and other baked goods I decided to make, the reason I finished this job was because the owner ran out of money. I did work experience at Casamia, a Michelin star restaurant in England, and I also worked as a line cook in a busy cafe in Lake Louise for a winter season in 2018. I have a Level 3 diploma in Nutrition and Weight Loss and I am working towards Level 4 RSPH Nutrition, Level 5 Nutrition Advanced Nutrient Metabolism & Level 5 Nutrition & Immunity.

Cook for Childcare/School

I am a dedicated chef with a deep passion for creating dishes that tell a story. Cooking is more than just a craft to me; it is an art form that brings people together and creates unforgettable moments. I trained at the Edmonton Mennonite Center for Newcomers, where I was taught by a red seal chef who graduated from NAIT. I honed my culinary skills through hands-on kitchen experience and completed my practicum at a seniors' community living center. There, I served, cooked, and prepared food for more than 300 residents with dietary restrictions. Throughout my education, I have developed skills that will be beneficial to the future company I work for. My signature style revolves around farm-to-table cuisine, emphasizing fresh, seasonal ingredients. My specialties include dietary-specific meals, modified dishes, and meat dishes. Recipes passed down from my grandparents and parents, as well as those I have acquired from people I have met and places I have been, have inspired me to create dishes that are both nostalgic and innovative. I believe that every plate should reflect a balance of flavors, textures, and stories. I am a culinary student currently doing my practicum in a seniors' community living facility. I plan to work in this field once I graduate. I have a passion for cooking and am eager to learn and adapt. My goal is to work in the kitchen and dedicate my passion and effort to every meal I serve.

I'm Angelica, an enthusiastic home cook from Edmonton. My passion for cooking began in my grandma's kitchen, learning from scratch. Without a culinary degree but with 5 years experience experimenting with various recipes, I've discovered how meals can bring communities together. As a full or part-time cook, I'm excited to further express my love for cooking, creativity and meticulous attention to detail primarily through baking. My tasks range from table setting, food preparation, kitchen cleanliness, dishwashing and food purchasing to meeting special requests from employers. With cooking experience spanning diverse cuisines and understanding modern cooking tech and sanitary standards, I am skilled in both staff management and event catering. My inspiration often comes from local farmer's markets and gardening. Other interests include painting, drawing, hiking, and photography. I'm immediately available, flexible, and keen on integrating my love for cooking into your kitchen. I am the mother of a 5-year-old, so I do a lot of cooking. I even made all of her baby food when she was still a baby. I like to cook, but I especially love baking. I make some pretty amazing desserts. Additionally, I have been a housekeeper for over 10 years.
