My name is Corey, I’m a student in Business Management. Before coming to AU I worked in the food industry. I graduated from NAIT’s Culinary Art’s program in 2007 with a diploma in cooking. I have my journeyman certificate, Red Seal, and Blue Seal. I have worked in restaurants, hotels, golf courses, and coffee shops. These days I’m a stay at home parent to three kids, 10-year-old twins and a 6-year-old. My wife works as an RN and program manager at the Stollery Hospital.

I decided to make beef stew a while back. It was a rainy, cool day, and something hardy was starting to appeal to me. I followed my last recipe, but then I thought about how I could improve it. I think this could be a metaphor for life, really. The changes to this recipe are… Read more »

While you can make turkey any time of year, those are the popular days among the masses. That usually also means that there are turkey leftovers. There are… Read more »
My wife and I celebrated our 18th anniversary and ordered lobster for surf and turf. Don’t worry; your invitation probably got lost in the mail. Sorry about that. When you have a meal like lobster and steak, there aren’t usually going to be leftovers, but I was lucky enough to have children that don’t wholly… Read more »
