November Recipe of the Month: Coffee-Roasted Carrots with Red-Eye Miso Gravy
November 14, 2018
I have come to appreciate the role coffee can play as a partner at the table, not just in desserts or as an after-dinner beverage, mind you; the range of Revel’s meticulously sourced and roasted coffee beans work beautifully in the savoury kitchen, and can bring unexpected earthy, floral, and even fruity notes to the table…

Alumni Feature: Randi Rudner, SCS Program Manager and Core Instructor
November 12, 2018
I am originally from Montreal, but moved to Kingston to attend Queen’s University, where I studied Philosophy and Classics.

Alumni Feature: Donna Borooah (Class of 2016), Recipe Developer & Tester
August 1, 2018
I first wanted to get into food when I would pore over my mum’s many, many issues of Gourmet magazine. Other major influences were the Two Fat Ladies, and the one and only Ina. All of these women have a contagious and confident approach to food, and I couldn’t resist.

Alumni Feature: Jeff Crump (Class of 1997 | Earth to Table Bread Bar)
July 9, 2018
Born in London Ontario, Jeff did not find cooking until he graduated University of Western Ontario. Stratford Chef School taught him to train with the best, so he worked at Chez Panisse, the Fat Duck, and Lumiere in Vancouver. Jeff became an Executive Chef a few years too early and hated it. He stepped back and now has a deep skill set for any challenge that is placed in front of him. He is now the owner of Bread Bar, with locations in both Hamilton and Guelph, and has authored two cookbooks: Earth to Table and Earth to Table Everyday.

Alumni Feature: Victoria Allman (Class of 1995)
May 4, 2018
After being awakened to global food at the Stratford Chef’s School, Victoria Allman wanted to go out and taste the flavours she had been studying in their own countries. Victoria became a private chef, cooking her way around the world on yachts. This has allowed her to not only study what paella is but how it is made in Spain by authentic local cooks. Victoria has been lucky enough to visit 52 countries – cooking and eating her way through the cuisine of each. Victoria currently works as a Yacht Chef for Motor Yacht Odessa.
