Chefs & Tutors - David Robertson
For now almost 20 years Canadian born David Robertson has successfully pursued a career in the culinary industry, building a strong reputation as a passionate engaging chef, an outstanding food stylist, and an excellent and inspiring tutor.
From his solid background and training in classical French fine dining, David’s passion for new flavors and foods has taken him all over the world in his pursuit to expand his culinary repertoire and skills. Numerous competition successes including being part of the Gold wining team in the 1996 Culinary Olympics in Switzerland furthered his opportunities to explore cooking beyond the geographical borders of Canada.
David’s wanderlust and zeal for new food and cooking styles as taken him to many top culinary destinations around Europe, the UK, Australia, and just outside of New York City, where he worked under renowned Thomas Henkelman at the Homestead Inn for 2 years.
Upon returning home to Vancouver in 2004 David became the Chef-de-Cuisine at the newly opened Belgian restaurant ‘Chambar’ where, alongside chef/ owner Nico Schuermans he created one of the city’s most popular and highly celebrated restaurants.
Over the following 4 years, in addition to building a reputation for creating delicious and inspiring food, David has also dedicated himself to the clean, innovative, and fresh presentation style of his creations. His obvious talent for plating has allowed him to make a name for himself as an exceptionally talented food stylist and David is in high demand among major food producers and manufacturers to help them show their food off in the very best light.
Throughout his career David has come to realize that not only does he love food he loves teaching people about food. His infectious enthusiasm for the products he uses and his patient nature are the perfect blend of ingredients to help him in his newest venture: The Dirty Apron Cooking School. In partnership with his wife Sara and Nico and Karri Schuermans, the owners of Chambar, David has fulfilled his dream with the highly anticipated Dirty Apron Cooking School in the beautifully restored heritage building at 540 Beatty Street.
