Podcast appearances and mentions of tom kitchin

Welcome to Mise en Place - The Podcast, where we sit down with the change makers of the restaurant industry to uncover their stories, passions, and the moments that shape their culinary worlds. This week, we're delighted to reconnect with Chef Ron McKinley for a second time, catching him at a pivotal moment in his illustrious career. Recently departing from his role as Executive Chef at Canoe Restaurant in Toronto—a celebrated cornerstone of Canadian cuisine—Chef Ron is now strategically plotting his next chapter while savoring a well-earned pause. Fresh off a dream guest chef appearance in Charlie Trotter's iconic Chicago kitchen and a dynamic collaboration with Chef Vish Mayekar and the team at Elem in Vancouver, Ron is riding a wave of inspiration. Born and raised in Vancouver, Chef Ron's culinary spark was ignited by his mom's heartfelt Sunday roasts, propelling him on a global quest for culinary excellence. With over a decade of experience in elite kitchens across the UK, Australia, and the Middle East, he trained under Michelin-starred Chef Tom Kitchin in Edinburgh and refined his craft alongside Scott Pickett in Melbourne. Known for his disciplined approach and deep reverence for local ingredients, Ron's tenure at Canoe showcased his mastery in elevating Canada's diverse bounty—think Saskatoon chanterelles, Nova Scotian sea lettuce, and Ontario squab—through a seamless blend of classic French techniques and modern innovation. Listen as we chat about Chef Ron's remarkable journey, from his global adventures and recent high-profile collaborations, and his vision for what's next.

The Detail's co-hosts Sharon Brettkelly and Tom Kitchin, and producer Alexia Russell, roll through the highlights of nearly 300 podcasts and long reads in 2023

In this episode, Justine interviews the legend that is Chef Pierre Koffmann. Pierre is a 3-Michelin star chef with more than 55 years' experience in the kitchen.Pierre was born in Tarbes, in southwest France, to a family that had farmed for generations. His love of food came from the cooking of his mother and grandmother. One of the greatest pleasures was sucking the juices from string that had been used to tie up meat for roasting.From such simple pleasures, you might imagine that Pierre was almost born to cook. You'd be wrong. His first thought after being invited to leave school at the age of 14 was to join the SNCF national railway. He only opted for culinary college when he realized the holidays were longer.Pierre had found his calling, and trained in restaurants across France, venturing as far as Strasbourg and learning the regional differences in cooking that were so pronounced in France at that time. He also crossed the border into Switzerland, working in Lausanne before deciding to set out to England to watch the England vs France rugby match in 1970. After that, he never left, though he says the food in the UK was shockingly bad.He went to work at Le Gavroche under Michel and Albert Roux, rising to sous chef. The brothers then asked him to open the Waterside Inn, which (like Le Gavroche) went on to win three Michelin stars. Pierre left to open his own restaurant, La Tante Claire, in 1977, where he won three stars in his own right, serving a refined version of the rustic cooking of his youth. His most famous dish of stuffed pig's trotter still appears on menus around the world.His books include the classic “Memories of Gascony” and the James Beard Award-winning “Classic Koffmann.”He retired in 2003 and was only persuaded to return to the stove when he was invited to open a two-week pop-up on the roof of Selfridges in 2009. Such was the demand, two weeks turned into two months. Pierre then went on to open Koffmann's restaurant at The Berkeley hotel in 2010­. The original plan was for three years, though Pierre lasted for six, enjoying going into the kitchen each day as much as ever.Pierre mentored a generation of chefs. Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsay, Jason Atherton, Tom Aikens and Tom Kitchin are among the Tante Claire alumni, while a younger generation, including Tiffany Lo in Hong Kong, graduated from Koffmann's. This may be his greatest legacy, though he'll remain best known for his most famous dish from La Tante Claire.“I know what it's going to say on my gravestone,” he says. “Pig's trotter.”Instagram: @pierre.koffman and @thefoodheroesfamilyThank you for listening.

Canadian Chef Ron McKinlay is the Executive Chef of Canoe restaurant in Toronto, where he works closely with producers, gatherers, and suppliers to create dishes inspired by Canada's diverse landscapes and its distinct provinces. After traveling, working, and training with some of the best chefs around the world, he, alongside his team, are aiming to promote and take Canadian produce and suppliers to new heights. After highschool Ron spent 12 months in a culinary program but the school part was the problem. It is what drew him away from the program, not being a fan of the academic structure. Studying and books has never been his thing. Always finding it a struggle to concentrate in a classroom format so sitting and listening wasn't working for him. So Ron shut that chapter out for a few years and concentrated on his first love - rugby – and put cooking as a profession behind him. Fast forward to 2004 and a shoulder injury made him reassess his next move. Taking some time to think about what he wanted to do. And the only thing that made sense was cooking. To begin he individually emailed every single 1 Star restaurant in the UK and set off. Literally got only 1 reply which is pretty surprising considering he had no little to no experience and wasn't even in the country at the time. He managed to land a job on the small island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands. It was a start and got his foot in the door and some cash in his pocket. But was left wanting more and started planning his next move after about 6 months. From there Ron moved onto Edinburgh and got a job working for Tom Kitchin. “ Ive never had my world turned so upside down, so fast.” This was by far the most intense, challenging and rewarding work he had ever done. Over the course of four years, he immersed himself in every aspect of the kitchen and learned everything from how to pick herbs properly to making stocks to learning how to make Lievre a la Royale from scratch. All in all, teaching him what real craft is and it's something that he can't thank Chef Tom enough for. Then onto Australia. Now 2010 and Ron was fortunate to get involved with the opening team for Gordon Ramsay's Maze Restaurant in Melbourne, Australia. While short lived (visa issues) it gave him the chance to find his next “home” at Estelle working for Scott Pickett A.K.A the Cheffo. “I haven't witnessed another person who cooks as he does. From butchery to classical sauce making, working for Cheffo was a whirlwind every day. Double alcohol reductions. Stocks for every protein. Sauces were being finished to order. Upwards of 8 different sauces were made daily for service. To say it was a push is an understatement.” And that was his home for the next four years. At Estelle Ron worked his way up as Chef de Partie to Sous Chef. They earned 1 Hat in his time there (Australia's version of a Michelin Star). Then Cheffo opened another place called Saint Crispins, Ron went along and was shortly promoted to head chef. ”No sooner had we opened the doors and in true Cheffo style, we earned Best New Restaurant garnering 2 hats almost immediately. Never a dull moment with Cheffo! Still to this day he is a mentor and a friend and I consider myself very lucky to have spent so much time working side by side with the Cheffo. ” Over a decade had gone by, and Ron was getting the itch to come home. So, after some time at a restaurant in the Middle East and a few more global cooking adventures, he made his way home to Canada, first on the West Coast to see the family and eventually making his way to Toronto in 2017, where Canoe is now home. Now, as the Executive Chef of Canoe, Ron is thrilled to apply the refined techniques and modern cooking style learned and taught by some of the best out there. Continually excited to innovate new dishes and flavours influenced by Canadian ingredients – from B.C. seaweed and Ontario birch syrup to foraged Labrador tea and Fogo Island crab.

A rule quietly ushered in and affecting properties across the Hastings district coastline has left residents frustrated, puzzled and out of pocket.
