Hi - I'm a Red seal chef. I did my apprecticeship under several of Canadas most iconic chefs as well as attending VCC and a private French culinary school in Vancouver. I have over 2 decades of experience cooking a variety of styles of cuisines, running catering operations, Hotels, fine dining restaurants, owning and operating 2 restaurants a small cheese shop and Bakery have been among some of my accomplishments. I competed and won Chopped Canada and competed and was a finalist on Top Chef Canada. I am an advocate of farm to table cuisine, maintaining and learning traditional cooking and supporting local, seasonal foods.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is stitching that holds together the fabric of life. It is sustenance, connection, knowledge and entertainment in a variety of flavours!

I was 1st on my grandmother aprons strings learning canning, then onto formal training and apprecticeships and mentorships

A cooking secret...

Buy the freshest, seasonal ingredients, apply respect and skillful technique - create one of a kind taste experiences , let the food tell the story.

Chef Shelley was the first to respond to my request for quotation, replied actively to our party’s questions about menu items and allergy concerns and happily revised the offered menu upon request (without raising the quoted price). On the day of the experience, she and her sous chef arrived well prepared and got to work. Each dish was served at proper temperature to every diner, and the flavours and textures were consistently incredible. The chef described each dish in detail, and then we ate. Courses were paced perfectly and each was unique and delicious. We could not have been more satisfied with the service and execution. Thank you Shelley!

What a magnificent evening! The food was absolutely delicious. We just wanted to see her every bite. Shelley and Bree were such a great team and so fun. Thank you for making our evening together a memorable one.
