Maureen Goulet started a
catering/cooking school 20 years ago in Richmond.
Shortly after moving to West Vancouver she opened her doors
to her neighbors
and guest Chefs from some of the best restaurants in Vancouver.
Wolfgang Von
Weiser, the Executive Chef of the 'Four Seasons Hotel', was
one of the first
Chefs to grace Maureeen's kitchen and what fabulous creations
did he turn
out for the lucky participants. Wolfgang did many classs for
Ambrosia
before he departed for the Four Seaseon in Las Vegas. Other
great guest
chefs who came to share their culinary secrets were: Micheal
Jacob, 'Le
Crocodile', restaurant, Pierre de la Cote, from 'Season in
the Park', Ernst
Dorfler, from the Pan Pacific Hotel. Goulet also hosts many
cooking classes
at different Hotels such as; The Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel,
The Waterfront
Hotel, The Hotel Vancouver, The Bayshore just to name a few.
Other
events Goulet has created are: The 'Men Only' Valentine cooking
class, which has been going on for over fifteen years. Many
of the same men
come every year to learn how to make a gourmet meal for their
wives for
Valentine's Day.
Singles
classes have also become popular with Goulet's clientel. Men
and
Women of similar ages are booked into cooking events where
they can learn
how to prepare great recipes and have the opportunity to meet
other like
minded indiviuals to share the evening with. Goulet's single
events have
inspired a few relationships and event a number of weddings!
For
the corportate client Maureen has developed the Mystery Box
Competition.
After a day of meetings your employees are treated to a cook
off. Each
group of participants must create one entree from the ingredients
at hand.
Each group is marked on a strick criteria and well as prestentation,
taste
and team effort. Lots of fun and a great team building event.
Looking
for a great idea for your next staff party? Maureen will organize
your guest into groups so that they can produce one part of
a gourmet dinner which you will all dine on after. This has
been a great ice breaker for staff parties where the spouses
are invited. Everyone gets to know each other while preparing
a gourmet feast!
Maureen
Goulet resides in West Vancouver with her Husband Maurice
and two children, Carrie and Matthew who have all been very
supportive and involved in the business over the years.
