Who We Are
Vanessa Yeung - Chef/Partner
Vanessa's culinary journey began as a cook in catering companies in and around the Toronto area. Desiring a deeper knowledge and understanding of food, she applied to the reputable Stratford Chefs School. The intense training and the opportunities that the school provided, led Vanessa to graduate with the Award of Culinary Excellence and a prestigious apprenticeship at one of Canada's top restaurants, Scaramouche. It was there she honed her skills and her palate, to understand that sometimes simplicity is the road to perfection.
After her time as a research and development chef at one of Canada's largest food manufacturing companies, Vanessa felt her true calling was catering and providing personal chef services. She has catered to the Hospital for Sick Children, York University, University of Toronto and the Credit Union of Ontario. Vanessa has also worked as a private chef to some of Toronto's most prestigious professional athletes.
