Cooking with ‘Top Chef’ Shaften

I’ve been an avid reader of cookbooks ever since I was a kid.
On weekends you could usually find me excitedly thumbing through the newest “Company’s Coming” which my mother would get free with a 25 litre gas purchase.

But not once have I ever attempted to cook a meal from it!

I know my skill set, and after burning rice crispy squares when I was 12, the desire to more than heat a meal has never really excited me.

Then along came Chef Chris Shaften!

One of the most memorable personalities from 2013 Top Chef Canada fame.

Chris Shaften is more than just a pretty-face trouble-maker with a boyish charm; he’s a self driven entrepreneur who also runs his own private chef/consulting business, Taste First, out of Calgary, Alberta.

So when the opportunity presented itself to learn to cook with the ‘Top Chef’ I jumped at the chance.

An easy but impressive dish that I can prepare anytime to wow my guests.

But knowing me, take out will most likely still be on the menu.

Thanks for the fun times and mad skills!
