If fall had an official vegetable, butternut squash would be it!

It’s naturally sweet, incredibly versatile, and works in everything from comforting soups to roasted sides and creamy pasta sauces.

The best part? You don’t need to do much to make it taste great.

What’s your favourite way to cook with butternut squash? 🤔

Asking Chef Julian to choose just one favourite dish was our first mistake. 😂

Now for the difficult question: curry or pho? 🤔

Dinner indeed smells amazing 😅

Apple season is here! 🍎

Bake them into desserts, sauté them for breakfast, or take them in a savoury direction alongside roasted vegetables and meats.

The trick starts with choosing the right apple and storing it properly.

Save this one for your next farmers’ market haul!

Team building works a little differently when everyone has an apron on. 👩‍🍳

Instead of another dinner where everyone stays in their usual groups, cooking gives your team a reason to collaborate, laugh, problem-solve, and connect naturally.

Then everyone sits down to enjoy what they created together.

From client events to team celebrations and corporate outings, we can build an experience around your group.

Today, we’re celebrating the people behind The Chef Upstairs!

The chefs who prep before guests arrive. The teams who set the table. The people teaching a young chef their first kitchen skill, creating a memorable night out, or preparing a meal that brings everyone together.

Great experiences don’t happen without great people behind them.

This Labour Day, we’re grateful for our team at The Chef Upstairs.

Happy Labour Day!
