Take Home Chef is about so much more than just great food. ✨

We bring the full restaurant experience into the comfort of your own home. From the table setting and preparation to service and cleanup.

Enjoy a beautifully prepared and presented tasting menu by a Red Seal Chef, or choose a completely customized experience curated for your event. Either way, you’ll have the time to entertain, relax, and make memories with the people around your table while we take care of the rest.

Looking for a unique gift? We also offer gift certificate bookings for private five-course tasting menus, starting from just two guests.

Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, celebrations... We’ve got you covered.

🥂 Restaurant-quality dining. Your table. Your people.

Good food is only part of the experience.

Bringing restaurant-quality dining into your home means great food, good wine, and an evening spent around the table with your favourite people... without anyone having to cook or clean.

These two are from the lodge.

Just a little late-night prep for tomorrow's dinner.

Follow along to see the finished dish tomorrow! It's gonna be delicious!

I just arrived back at the lodge in Atlin, British Columbia, where I'll be spending the next month as Executive Chef. I've been fortunate to work as the Chef of various backcountry lodges across Canada over the past 12 years and those experiences have helped shape both my cooking style and the foundation of Take Home Chef.

While I'm away on contract, I'll be accepting reservations again starting August 25.

Did you know we offer more than just tasting menus? Whether you're looking for an intimate private dinner, a fully hosted BBQ, family-style dining, or a completely customized culinary experience, we'd love to help make your event memorable.

See you tomorrow for the finished dish!

A little glimpse into life at Bear Camp 🐻

When I’m not hosting private dinners with Take Home Chef, I spend part of the year working as an executive chef at remote lodges in British Columbia.

Remote backcountry lodges is my culinary journey background and what inspired take home chef!
Different kitchen, different backdrop, and a whole lot of cooking.

A few seafood dishes from the past weeks at camp:

Sesame-crusted ahi tuna with potato pavé, asparagus and carrot-ginger purée.

Miso glazed sable fish, with braised daikon, radish and a rich broth.

Pappardelle with shrimp, asparagus, and a charred green onion sauce.

Remote lodge life is demanding, but getting to cook in places like this is pretty special. Bringing all my experience back to Winnipeg, is even better!
