\"amanda<\/p>\n

Tell us a little bit about your restaurant and\/or style of cooking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canteen is a casual restaurant by\u00a0Oliver & Bonacini Restaurants, located in the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Canteen is all about offering globally inspired dishes using locally sourced ingredients. I love to travel and draw on those experiences for the menu. I’ve done a lot of fine dining and French cuisine (most recently as Chef de Cuisine at Biff\u2019s Bistro, also an O&B restaurant) in my career, but I really enjoy drawing inspiration from the multicultural landscape of Toronto,\u00a0its fresh take on world cuisine, and that passion for the city\u2019s diverse cultures.<\/p>\n

Where do you eat in your city?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lots of places! I love to support friends who are chefs with their own places. Connecting with colleagues in the industry is huge, as well as sharing that sense of community. \u00a0I love different ethnic cuisines that the city has to offer. \u00a0I have a huge love for Vietnamese food, especially after travelling throughout Vietnam a few years ago. I have a few favourites spots for pho and bun cha. I also have an El Salvadoran place I’ve gone to for years. Just depends on my mood and what I crave!<\/p>\n

\"biffs<\/p>\n

What would be your ideal food day?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going to the market and creating a killer meal at home with amazing friends, opening up some wine, and listening to good music \u2013that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

What trend do you wish would die?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Burgers and tacos. Everyone jumping on that bandwagon.<\/p>\n

What trend\/s do you wish would be next? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I think we need to be more seriously looking at food waste, which is not really a trend but more a way of life, and changing our thoughts on what is and isn\u2019t acceptable. I\u2019d also love to see more support for farmers, and providing the option of locally sourced food to all, including low income families.<\/p>\n

\"biffs<\/p>\n

What ingredients do you always have on hand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good oil, cheese, coffee, hot sauce, pasta, avocado, butter and bread.<\/p>\n

What equipment do you wish you had in your kitchen?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many things, but mostly a Rational, a Pacojet, and a Thermomix.<\/p>\n

What gift would you suggest \u00a0for your foodie friends this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Slap Chop, or maybe an incredible Japanese knife.<\/p>\n

\"biffs<\/p>\n

Any hints on what dish you will be preparing for Gold Medal Plates?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a secret! I will be preparing a milk-braised St-Canut Porcelet with curd and whey, hay smoked Tamarack Farm black futsu squash, and cotechino with apple saba turnip and crispy sauerkraut.<\/p>\n

What wine\/beer\/libation are you pairing with this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cave Springs Riesling \u2013 \u201cThe Adams Steps\u201d<\/p>\n

Who is coming with you?<\/strong><\/p>\n
