I am a professional Chef, with 25 years of culinary experience.

After studying in the Culinary institute of Canada, I left to travel canada cooking in Calgary AB, PEI and Vancouver BC.

While in Vancouver I was lucky enough to work with Andrea Carlson in Bishops during her 3 year run as the top restaurant in Vancouver. I then was sous chef under Rob Clark in NU restaurant.

I then was catering sous chef for the opening team of Railtown Cafe and Catering.

Most recently I have just returned from Dubai where I was working for 6 successful years for Hilton as head chef for banqueting and cluster executive sous chef for Movenpick. Both jobs garnered awards and accolades.

Afterwards I moved on to First central hotel where I was able to create the restaurant concept Beastro a fun fast casual restaurant that centered around modern and contemporary takes on comfort food.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is how I communicate with the people around me. I enjoy exciting those I cook for, by giving them honest delicious food from the heart.

I learned to cook at...

The Culinary Institute of Canada. But my real learning began in Vancouver where I fell in love with the seasons and connectivity to our growing cycles

A cooking secret...

Lemons, good salt, a comfortable pair of shoes, and a positive and open atmosphere. At the end of the day I love making good food for people.

Patrick and his wife Mandana cooked an extraordinary meal for me and my husband. Beforehand, Patrick was flexible, communicative and effortlessly catered the meal to my requests and our dietary requirements. On the night, the meal surpassed my expectations and their company was lovely. I would highly recommend!

Patrick was absolutely excellent, we had the best dinner.

They made my wife’s 50th surprise birthday dinner!! Food was yummy, the presentation of the dishes were awesome. Delightful people, and will have them come again. ????????

We loved having Patrick and his wife, Mandana, with us for New Years Eve. Everything exceeded our expectations and we would have them again in a heartbeat! We had a Japanese style dinner and our favorite was the king crab fried rice.
