We want to give voice to hard working migrant chefs who work behind the scenes preparing mouth-watering delicacies for the Canadian public, but whose personal stories remain unheard. You will be asked to a) name your favourite dish and tell us where, when and how you learned to prepare it, b) to tell us about the traditions and customs associated with this dish in your place of origin and why it is so special to you and to your family here, c) you will asked if there are any ingredients particular to this recipe that are found only in your place of origin and how you source these ingredients here, d) you will be asked if you have you adapted your recipe to the Canadian context and to tell us why and how you have done so? e)you will asked what it is that you most enjoy about your profession as chef/food professional /restaurant owner in Canada?
