Earlier this month Compass Group Canada proudly hosted an Indigenous Cuisine Spotlight and Training for our culinary team, welcoming Chef Zach Keeshig to teach 17 of our chefs.

During the 8-hour educational session, Chef Zach taught our teams how to prepare progressive and authentic Indigenous cooking traditions and techniques.

This inspirational and educational teaching event encouraged our chefs to take these recipes and culinary philosophies back to their kitchens to share with their teams, clients and guests.

After the event, we had the chance to chat with a few of our chef participants, including Chef Eugene, Executive Chef, Chartwells:

“This event was a fantastic opportunity to work collaboratively with our chefs in learning about Indigenous cuisine. Learning, and working hands on with Chef Zach gave me much more confidence in cooking Indigenous cuisine without fear of misrepresenting. Culinary is so expansive, and there’s an infinite supply of knowledge for us chefs to learn from. Nobody knows everything and so I’m grateful we can be the student from time to time and get a chance to learn, gather and share knowledge.”
