Case for Support

Supporting Excellence in Canada’s Culinary Industry
The story of the Stratford Chefs School is exceptional, almost 3 decades of providing one-of-a-kind programs which ensure that our young graduates move into Canada’s best restaurants with a skill set that is remarkable.

 

“Chefs across North America are extremely fortunate to be able to draw from the pool of talent that the School has produced” Chris McDonald, Cava, Toronto

 

Our Mission:  to help people experience, enjoy and understand the gastronomy of our time, so that a distinctly Canadian cuisine may continue to develop.

 

We remain dedicated to the three cornerstones in our vision: 

 

• high quality cookery, informed by culinary artisans of international status
• innovation guided by leading restaurant  practitioners 
• entrepreneurship inspired by the solid business basics for restaurant start-ups
  
  
  

"The best restaurant in town? When Charmaine and I want to do something special for dinner we check into
the Stratford Chefs School dinner menus. Our city offers so many great restaurant options but the crafted menus, thoughtful wine pairings, The Prune's atmosphere, and the charm of participating in the development of young chefs make the School our favourite restaurant experience." - David and Charmaine Hicks
