Alumni Feature | Ruth Klahsen | Class of 1985
April 13, 2020
If you ask Ruth Klahsen, owner and lead cheesemaker at Monforte Dairy, how she got into making cheese, she’ll tell you, in that self-deprecating way she has: “I’m just an old broad who had a mid-life crisis!”
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.

I began working in kitchens as a young teenager, my first job being a dishwasher in Bryan Steele’s kitchen at The Old Prune. It was my experience at The Old Prune that opened my mind to what exceptionally prepared food tastes like, and the power great cuisine can have on evoking emotion. Steele is a chef that inspires beyond precise culinary skill. He encourages awareness of the big picture…

I remember cooking alongside my grandmother as a child and feeling very at home in the kitchen. She would cook soups from scratch and hand-make pierogies all afternoon. I apprenticed at The Old Prune with Chef Bryan Steele and over the past decade I have been the Head Chef at Pazzo Stratford, Mercer Hall and The Red Rabbit. In 2018 we opened Old Man & Son, a new place to eat breakfast in Stratford.
