Chef Brenda Brinson
Brenda's Cozy Cafe, Stettler
The first time Brenda ever cooked a full meal for her family she was 13. It was farm raised beef, garden vegetables, and potatoes from the cellar. Although her technique is a bit more advanced than it was in her early years, Brenda's passion for locally produced food remains. Brenda is simply a farm girl from Saskatchewan who loves to cook and you can taste that passion in her restaurant Brenda's Cozy Cafe on main street Stettler.
Brenda has a diploma in Food Service Administration from SIAST Kelsey Campus and her Red Seal from Lakeland College. |
Chef Shania Scammell
The CCR Restaurant & Bar, Consort AB
“I was raised on a farm just south west of Cadogan, Alberta. I attended K-12 in Provost then continued my education at Lethbridge College in the Culinary Careers Program. (Lethbridge Alberta.) I went on to graduate with a Diploma and my Red Seal and Journeyman Certificates. I grew up on a farm where we raised a lot of our own animals (beef, chickens, pigs). Every fall we would harvest game to put food on the table for the months to come. It’s safe to say our freezers were always full. My grandparents would always have a garden in the ground a few kilometers up the road that was always rewarding. I think my love of food stemmed from seeing a pot of borscht on the stove knowing the main ingredients were planted in family soil and harvested by my family’s hands along with constructing homemade perogies, rosettes, pickles & jams in my Gramma’s kitchen with my siblings and cousins at a young age. From there my mind was always going crazy about possible flavor combination.”
