Sous Chef, Scott Carter
When my wife Annette and I chose to move out of Toronto in 2001, Collingwood
was an easy choice. In fact, we decided to move and bought a house before we
found jobs. Luckily, chefs and French teachers are quite portable, and it was easy
to settle-in to our new life here. We have enjoyed everything the area has to offer,
raising two boys and three dogs while exploring the escarpment from top to
bottom. Hiking, horticulture, snowshoeing, skiing, and mushroom hunting are a
few of our favorite pastimes. I love to cook for people and that has been my job
for over 25 years now. Some highlights of this time include seven years as the chef
at Azzurra, a longtime favorite in Collingwood, five as a banquette chef at Blue
Mountain and almost eight years as owner and chef of The Stuffed Peasant in
Collingwood.
