A recent plant based treat Always find it interesting to do a composed main course where you really don't miss the meat. Vadouvan spiced roasted cauliflower,kuri squash puree,olive oil and lemon confit carrots, smoked beets and a beet demi( a unique plant based reduction full of flavour) #culinary_artisans #plantbased #healthyfood #eatwell #whatsonmyplate #chefs604 #veganfoodshare #lettuceturnipthebeet #cultureculinaire #artdishes #opulence #foodstarz #foodstyling #truefoodies https://www.instagram.com/p/CXEhABQPqsF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Back in the okanagan after my summer away on the sunshine coast. It's funny the location is the location but great food has no address. When I think of the food style that is our signature. I think of dishes like this. This is VADA PAV, a street food reimagined from Mumbai. This is a take on vada pav actually and technically this would be batata vada. To break it down , it's a potato fritter. If a fritter was kicked up about, I don't know 73 notches lol. Flavour bombed with a tamarind sauce, a dry coconut chutney and a cilantro chutney and Chana flour funnel cake like fried nom nom addictive topping you wanna come back for more and more. Global tastes using local ingredients i guess one could say is our jam, or chutney in this case lol. Book with us for all your late summer shin digs and events. #culinary_artisans #curatingexperiences #makingfoodmemories #okanaganfoodandwine https://www.instagram.com/p/CTlh-UBnPkA/?utm_medium=tumblr

After being away from the okanagan since the start of May, it's a great feeling coming home very soon. Nothing satisfies me more and fills my heart up fuller than providing personal culinary experiences and bringing people together.In this crazy crazy world we're living in, sometimes we just need an escape from everything around us and need to be around the ones we love, sharing some wine and some delicious food and food that opens your mind. Take your tastebuds on vacation with us. #culinary_artisans #curatingexperiences #privatedining #bringtherestauranthome #farmtotabledinner #cateringservice #supportingsmallbusinesses #farmtohome #privateevents #eatglobaldinelocal #tastecation #okanaganvalley #okanaganliving☀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CTLADEghRuY/?utm_medium=tumblr

A throwback here to a decently photogenic little tea cup of poké. With all the poké joints around the world, how many tea cups of poké do you see? I'll wait lol. This was a small portion and a big flavour bomb, beautiful ahi tuna, spring salmon, fresh from the ocean Uni, edamane, cucumber, and avocado in a yuzu togarashi poké sauce, finished with furikake. #culinary_artisans is back 🙌 #itsnotacomeback #chefs604 #culinaryexperience #gastronomycurators #pokebowl https://www.instagram.com/p/CTFuBNdBX2X/?utm_medium=tumblr

Summer of '21 was an interesting one. Put my company, this company on a little hiatus as I took on a opportunity and challenge of taking over as head chef of the Seasider restaurant in beautiful Powell River, Bc. Built a great tram of a couple Rockstar cooks and a dishwasher who we all managed to turn into a rely good cook and 2 culinary graduates from @viupowellriverculinary. With all the challenges of covid restrictions and staffing shortages, I am leaving with a sense of pride on what was accomplished this busy busy summer on the ocean. God speed and I wish them all the success in the world. #culinary_artisans #privatedining #privatechef #restaurantconsultant #chefs604 #hireachef https://www.instagram.com/p/CTAVC8rF-x8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just a classic here. You know that salad that was invented in Mexico by an Italian but mostly seen in North America lol. Yeah that one. This was the same but like remodeled or something and it made the gram because it had just the right natural light. Getting the right natural light is the equivalent I guess of a great hair day, says the bald chef lol. #culinary_artisans #chefs604 #sunshinecoastfood #sunshinecoastliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CREleo8s9Ry/?utm_medium=tumblr

June in the powell river. Some indigenous traditions, some British, rocking the oysters with some unique accoutrements,fermenting kimchi for a prawn salad, and doing some simple sweets. All in all, not a bad month #culinary_artisans #sunshinecoastfoodie #simplistic_food https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ6cvvDMzG5/?utm_medium=tumblr

A recent hit. Prawns salad with avocado,mango, togarashi spiced peanuts, Thai basil,cilantro and mint for that freshness bomb and a dressing of emulsified house fermented kimchi.

Creme brulee' with macerated sour cherries, crumbled short bread and garnished with beautiful red veined sorrel, borage flowers and nasturtium petals. The pottery gives that rougher rustic look, just like my resting chef face 🤣. #culinary_artisans https://www.instagram.com/p/CQh7odysmjA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kusshi oysters with a passionfuit and togarashi mignonette and a soy dashi gel.
