Hi! My name is Danielle. I have completed a three year culinary apprenticeship program while working at The Banff Springs Hotel and obtained my red seal. I have worked in many different places across Canada and the UK. I spent five years living in Edinburgh while learning valuable knowledge through the kitchens I cooked in. I’m very passionate about connecting with people through food!

For me, cooking is...

Cooking for me is not only a valuable skill, it’s something I use to bring people together.

I learned to cook at...

I studied at Niagara College for one year, followed by a three year apprenticeship at The Banff Springs Hotel in Banff National Park.

A cooking secret...

You must have passion while working in the kitchen.

Chef Dani was absolutely incredible. She was super engaging with our entire family during the cooking process, insanely flexible with menu options, wickedly great food and a 100% impeccable service. Would recommend her to ANY of our friends and family

Such a wonderful experience. Having the private chef take care of the groceries, cooking and cleanup allowed us to focus on our evening! I can't wait to book again :)
