Cookery Workshop with 'Chef To Go'
Salazac, France

Bob Arniel, St. John’s Chef To Go, is a quiet, unassuming man who knows that he got where he is because of the hard work he put into his passion – food. Growing up in a small town in Ontario, Mr. Arniel relished his first exposure to preparing food in a small mom-and-pop diner and decided to pursue his career as a chef. He attended a school in Sault Ste. Marie and then embarked on a cross-Canada odyssey that is typical for a young ambitious chef. He spent some time working with a brilliant French chef in Halifax, Nova Scotia but then made his way to St.John's where he attended Memorial University.

He eventually ran the kitchen in the old Hotel Newfoundland, but wanted to launch into business of his own. Opening a restaurant is a dicey proposition at the best of times and Mr. Arniel knew that he wanted to do something different that would allow him to combine his love of teaching and exceptional food. So Chef to Go was born.

Today he runs several courses as well as weekend seminars that involve not just learning how to prepare good food, but also time with friends to share it.

Mr. Arniel doesn’t just teach, he is constantly learning, too. His love of travel is an excellent opportunity to bring home new foods and new ways of preparing the all-time favourites. He has crisscrossed the globe by now and his classes certainly reflect not just his love of food and local ingredients, but also the adventurous spirit that is a hallmark of an exceptional chef.
