Growing up in a small village\, far from the city\, food and cooking is such a large part of the culture that she grew to love preparing meals for the family\, even though it was her responsibility as the oldest child.\nShe left Thailand in 1998 and moved to Edmonton where she attended the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and graduated with a diploma in computer programming. She moved to Smithers\, BC with her husband in 2003 where they had 2 kids. They then moved to Langley in 2007 and have been there until now.\nParinya worked at several jobs since coming to Canada and did well at them\, but she wasn’t really satisfied with any of them. One day she got this idea in her head to open a Thai restaurant\, and she couldn’t get rid of it – it just kept growing. After planning for almost a year\, they opened the original Ban Chok Dee Thai Cuisine in Langley in 2009 and moved to the current Langley location in 2012. In 2016 they opened a second location in Maple Ridge. In 2018\, they have opened a Thai cooking school in Langley which is also a venue for private functions\, meetings and special dine-in events.

It was during this time that she began to fall in love with baking.\nAfter working in the engineering field for a few years\, she discovered that pastry arts was her true calling. This prompted her to leave her comfort zone and migrate to Canada with her husband in 2003. She attended Le Cordon Bleu in Ottawa and graduated at top of her class with Honours.\nShortly after graduation\, she staged at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier and took on a junior position at Cakes by Tatiana in Ottawa\, where she honed her cake decorating skills. She then worked at 3 Tarts Bakeshop where she produced thousands of handmade tarts and started to truly understand the meaning of production! She then went on to be the Pastry Chef at Stoneface Dolly’s in Little Italy\, Ottawa where she oversaw bread and dessert production for the restaurant.\nIn 2006\, Shobna and her husband decided to move to Vancouver\, where she accepted a position as Pastry Chef at Cupcakes on Denman. With years of experience under her belt\, she began to develop her own unique vision a magical jewel-box pastry shop. In 2010\, after her son was born\, she attended BCIT to work on her business plan in order to bring her vision to fruition.

Her culinary education continued throughout the world\, including the Culinary Institute of America\, The Thai Cooking School in Bangkok & Japanese Food Art in Tokyo. In 1978 she founded Caren’s Cooking School\, which now is one of Canada’s longest running\, privately owned schools. In addition to teaching\, she hosts The Sunday Morning Show “Cooking 101” on GLOBAL TV’S weekend news. She is a weekly guest on CKNW with Simi Sara called “Foodie Friday” \nShe is the author of 3 books and co-author of 3\, her 7th book published by Random house/Penguin will be released October 2017. \nCaren’s love of good food inspired the innovative concept of\, “THE GOURMET WAREHOUSE”. The first store of its kind in Canada to unite gourmet specialty foods\, kitchenware and supplies offering more than 28 thousand sku’s. Her other company “Continental Importers” is responsible for seeking out and obtaining the international food procurement to keep both companies on the cutting edge of food trends. \nDedicated to helping others in the business\, she co-founded the BC Chapter of Les Dames D’Escoffier\, an international organization that promotes the professionalism of women in the culinary industry whose mission is to provide culinary scholarship opportunities to women. \nCaren has recently been inducted into the BC RESTAURANT HALL OF FAME\, has been included in Business in Vancouver’s top 25 performing businesses in British Columbia owned by women and is Where Magazine’s 2016 Trailblazer. She has also won the 2017 Board of Trade Wendy McDonald award for retail innovator of the year.. \nYou can follow Caren McSherry on Twitter @caren_mcsherry and on Instagram @Caren_Mcsherry  \n \nPaul Grunberg \n\nPaul Grunberg \nCo-Owner L’Abattoir and Osteria Savio Volpe \nPaul Grunberg\, host & restaurateur\, is a force of nature in the Vancouver hospitality scene. With a goosebump-inducing passion first sparked while living and working at a boutique hotel in Switzerland\, Paul brings an intense energy\, a keen savoir-faire\, and a genuine desire to create a comfortable environment for guests\, ensuring an exceptional dining experience for every guest\, every time. \nLaunching and nurturing some of the city’s top restaurants – Chambar\, Market by Jean-Georges at the Shangri-La Hotel\, Bao Bei Brasserie and his first co-owned project\, L’Abattoir – led Paul to his most recent joint venture Osteria Savio Volpe\, one of the city’s most popular new spots. \nAn award-winning public speaker and communicator and a graduate of Canada’s notable Hotel and Hospitality program at Camosun College\, Paul’s strong leadership and uncompromising vision have served to parlay his obsession for food\, wine and impeccable service into a reputation for creating remarkable dining experiences inspired by his own most memorable restaurant adventures at home and abroad. \n \nBrian Turko \n\nBrian Turko \nOwner & Master Roaster \nThere are musical virtuosos\, great chefs\, and then there are rare individuals that can take up to 13 coffee bean varietals and know what to do with them. Milano’s Master Roaster\, Brian Turko falls into this category. \nBrian was born and raised in Vancouver’s Little Italy. There he discovered espresso bars in the early 1980’s when there was only a handful in the city\, including Café de Milano where Brian came across a taste that changed his life. It was the taste of 100% Arabica coffee espresso with 7 to 11 varietals in each blend\, masterfully crafted by Milano’s founding father\, Francesco Curatolo. This was the beginning of a special relationship between teacher and student that would span almost two decades. \nFollowing a 15 year mentorship to Francesco\, Brian Turko\, has earned his place as a West Coast coffee pioneer\, elevating the premium coffee concept to new heights. Combining a careful diligence for Italian tradition with a boundless appetite for innovation\, Brian’s novel blending concepts have created the ‘Milano taste’ hailed by coffee connoisseurs throughout the world and awarded multiple times by the International Institute of Coffee Tasters. \nFollowing his mentorship to Francesco\, Brian continued to dedicate his life to the pursuit of the perfect blend. His passion\, tenacity and talent for the craft of roasting and blending regularly takes him into rarified territory in the coffee world. \n \nIan Bruce \n\nIan Bruce \nFounder – Umaluma Gelato \nIan Bruce is a business executive and entrepreneur with 25 years experience in technology sales and business development.
