Chef

Hello, my name is Michel Dumas and welcome to my blog! I have over 50 years of experience and trained as a cook in France, then came to Canada in the 70s where I was sous chef at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal. Since retiring in 2013, I have been posting recipes on YouTube. At the time, I wanted to show my mother how to cook. My son filmed the video and posted it on YouTube so we could email her the link to watch it. After a few days, we had 50 views on that video. We then decided to make videos every week and now have a fairly large audience that we still can't believe. With the help of my son Jean-Pierre, we transcribed my recipes that can be found on our various social networks onto this blog so they are easier to reproduce and share!
