I have been in the food industry for 20 years. I have always loved everything about food. I love cooking, baking, being creative, sharing food with others, and of course eating! My father was a European-trained chef, baker and pastry chef which exposed me to all kinds of cuisines (and cakes!) from a very young age. It truly has been a joy learning from him. I followed in his footsteps from my very first job at a bakery, where I fell in love with the industry. A few years into my culinary journey I decided I wanted to further my food education and graduated with honours from the 2 year Culinary Management program at Algonquin College. It was an amazing program where I learned a great amount of new skills while also honing the skills I had already learned from my job experiences. After working in restaurants for many years I decided to become a personal chef to have more time to spend with my growing family. Cooking personalized meals for clients gives me the opportunity to be creative and help busy families and professionals eat healthy, fresh, delicious home-cooked meals.
