Chef Steve
Koalaroo Catering
Developing an interest in the culinary arts as a teenager and, particularly, ethnic food, Chef Steve began collecting and developing recipes from around the world at an early age. Mentored by a brilliant Italian cook for nearly 10 years, he used these skills to broaden his ethnic cooking range. A former restaurant owner, Chef Steve is Food Handler Certified and has completed the Good Beginnings Preschool Nutrition Program for Ontario children. As well, his kitchen is annually inspected and passed 3 times per year by the Simcoe-Muskoka District Health Unit in accordance with health department regulations. Chef Steve created the "Broader Palate, Broader Mind" philosophy for children and currently offers 28 dishes from 20 different countries. The hot lunch program he has provided has been so successful, Chef Steve expanded his kitchen and is now offering his amazing food to other centres in Barrie via Koalaroo Catering. www.koalaroocatering.ca
