Culinary Inspiration:
My culinary inspiration comes from the nature that is around us…
What is growing in our backyard? What is currently in season? What type of game is in the area? These are the questions I ask myself when thinking of new dishes or menu ideas.
Furthermore, I am grateful for the chefs, mentors, friends, and people I have worked with throughout my travels and career. I have learned something from every position in the culinary brigade. Learning is key—never stop learning.
My thoughts on Canada’s food scene:
I think Canada is an underdog when it comes to our restaurants and food scene. It is only in recent years that we have been recognized for Michelin Stars. We have three coastlines with every type of terrain and growing conditions in between. We have hardworking people producing our crops, caring for our livestock, and filling our shelves. I am happy that it is finally starting to get recognized.
Why Quadra?
I prefer a more quiet, scenic, and outdoor recreation-focused way of life. Quadra Island has a great community of people with common interests. I am excited to explore the trails, visit the farmers’ markets, and meet some local suppliers.
