A recent assignment asked students to investigate a current issue in Canadian food production and consumption of personal interest, and we think some of the very thoughtful submissions might be of interest to you, at home!

February 15, 2019

Italy Comes to Stratford
February 27, 2016

Earlier this month, during one of the coldest weeks of this winter, students at the Stratford Chefs School were lucky enough to experience some Italian warmth thanks to a visit from Chef Gino Minacapilli. He was here as our second and final International Guest Chef in Residence for this year. He is a chef and teacher at a school of hospitality in the region of Piedmont, an area of Italy renowned for the production of Barolo and Barbaresco wines, truffles and many other Italian delicacies.
