We're one month away from the Vancouver Home + Design Show! Can you believe it? Happening October 16-19 at BC Place, this ultimate showcase of all things home improvement is the source for design inspiration and culinary creativity. This year, we're welcoming 12 local chefs to the Vancouver Magazine Cooking Stage, where they'll dish out live, full-action cooking demonstrations to tantalize taste buds. Now that's a tasty treat!

Without further delay, say hello to three of Vancouver's top culinary talents: David Robertson, Hamid Salimian, and Spencer Watts.

David Robertson, The Dirty Apron Cooking School & Delicatessen


For 20 years, David Robertson has built and extraordinarily successful culinary career. With training in classic French fine dining, David's passion for new flavours has taken him all over the world as he sought to expand his culinary repertoire and skills. Together with his wife, Sara, David fulfilled his dream to educate people about how to cook good food by opening The Dirty Apron Cooking School & Delicatessen in a beautifully restored heritage building in Vancouver's chic Crosstown neighbourhood. We're thrilled to have this jet-setting chef on our stage!
