Keshab Sapka: Head Chef at Mountain Tandoor

Posted:

Jan 31, 2012

If you have ever eaten at Mountain Tandoor at the Stanford Inn then you know that it is authentic Indian cuisine. Head chef Keshab Sapka was born in Nepal close to the Indian border, studied cooking in India and has been cooking professionally for 13 years, the last four in Fernie. I asked Keshab why he chose to be a chef and he replied, “Cooking is in my blood.” Kasheb grew up in a house where preparing food was an important part of the day and his mother was a great cook. Both of his brothers went on to become chefs as well.

Mark Butcher - Rib-Eye with Rosemary & Blue Cheese Compound

Jul 25, 2011

Mark has been cooking professionally for over ten years and is equally serious about his lifestyle and work. After bartending to support his ski bum lifestyle, he thought he’d try his hand in the kitchen. Inspired by a number of chefs along the way he decided to get his chef certificate at George Brown College in Toronto before diving into a life in the mountains which has included a lot of cooking (Lizard Creek Lodge, Island Lake Lodge, Bulldogs and now Picnic) and a lot of skiing. When I met Mark he was adamant about sharing some simple yet crucial tips regarding grilling meats.
