She apprenticed at Rundles and for a period taught the front-of-house service component at the School.

Alumni Feature | Ruth Klahsen | Class of 1985
April 13, 2020

The real story is that Ruth is living proof of how an individual can have a transformative effect on local food systems. A graduate of the inaugural class of ’83 at Stratford Chefs School and a professional chef for 25 years, she embarked on an adventure that would see her become one of Canada’s most celebrated cheese makers.
