Thank you for your help about the international test. Do you know if there is one in Canada? I know they have the 'red seal' but only applies to the country.
As far as I know, Red Seal is the only real certification in Canada for chefs.

Is there such thing as an international test to become a certified cook?
Yes, from the American Culinary Federation. 聽There are actually 5 levels:
Certified Culinarian
Certified Sous Chef
Certified Chef de Cuisine
Certified Executive Chef
Certified Master Chef
You can read about it or watch videos about it here: 聽Certified Master Chef from the American Culinary Federation.
I think there are only around 60 or so Certified Master Chefs in the world. 聽Honestly, it's kind of a waste of time and money to do the exams. 聽You don't need them to be a chef.

I've gotten a lot of questions about whether I'm back on Tumblr, since people are seeing my comments and likes again, I suppose.
Yes, I am, but I'm only posting from one blog: 聽http://chefincanada.tumblr.com/
Come follow my new story in my new country. 聽:)

My last blog post was March 9th.
Oops.
There was just so much going on. 聽We opened a restaurant, closed a food truck, and I worked on immigration paperwork.
I've thought about you guys fairly often, though. 聽I peeped onto Tumblr after Boston to make sure everyone was ok.
And then, last night, I decided I would blog my experiences opening a brand new restaurant in a brand new country, starting today. 聽
Since everything is new, the URL will be, too. 聽You're invited to follow at聽http://chefincanada.tumblr.com/
And drop me a line there to let me know how you've all been doing!

Sometimes only a hamburger will do, if you like hamburgers. Pastured ground beef cooked into a patty with all the fixings. Paired with baked sweet potato shoestring fries and homemade smoked paprika aioli. The buns I made are egg white buns from the cookbook, Paleo Indulgences. They are just...

I made sushi. RAW VEGAN PALEO SUSHI. It tasted just like the real thing. I should probably retire now.

RAW dinner #2 = one of my favorite things I've ever eaten EVER. 聽So much flavor.
Live wrap by Ezekiel, topped with my dad's homemade hummus, guac, and vegan "mayo" (blended nuts, garlic, lemon, and herbs), salsa, mixed greens, sweet peppers, and apples. 聽Side of strawberries.

First full day of RAW foods. 聽I mean, I have no plans to change my meat-eating-chef ways, but seriously, this stuff is delicious.
Breakfast: 聽raw organic (and local!) flax cracker with organic hummus, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion. 聽With Strawberry Kombucha.
Lunch: 聽peach, strawberry, banana, flax seed, and coconut milk smoothie.
Snack: 聽more flax crackers (I seriously love flax), hummus, and Kombucha.

Last night's RAW dinner: 聽zucchini and vegan "cream cheese" (it's made with nuts, garlic, and lemon juice) lasagna-style roll-ups, topped with a raw tomato sauce (mix fresh tomatoes and sundried tomatoes for a deeper flavor without cooking). 聽Mixed greens salad in the background.

Yesterday evening began BURN: 聽33 days of RAW with my yoga studio.
We are to eat only raw, vegan foods, and practice astanga daily.
I always feel sorta bad for my vegan followers when I'm posting stuff like pics of whole roasted suckling pigs, so this month I'll make it up to you guys. 聽;)
There were grocery trips galore, including Eat More Produce farmer's market, Whole Foods, and then Publix.

This is my life
Its not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me
'Cause I聽
I must be sleeping
Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All in the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day, and I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today
These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile聽
That I've never shown before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping
I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
