A 21-year-old chef from Kelowna will serve as the Food Network’s Top Chef Canada next season.
Kelowna-based Siobhan Detkavich will put her culinary skills into practice, competing against 10 of the best aspiring chefs from across Canada to compete for the title of Top Canadian Chef.
Detkavich is currently Demi Chef de Partie at Mission Hill Family Estate Winery’s Terrace Restaurant and says in a video from Food Network Canada that she is always the youngest cook at competitions.
“There have been times in my career when people have doubted me, especially when I was from a Native American background,” Detkavich said in the video. “It’s a big deal for someone like me to be with Top Chef Canada, not only because I represent a younger generation, but also a young indigenous nation.”
Detkavich will be a contestant on the show’s ninth season, which features a different chef every week, who then takes part in a series of culinary challenges judged by some of the best chefs in the country.
The 21-year-old said that while she wanted to go out and party with her friends, she had to spend long, hard hours in the kitchen. She is now one of the youngest Red Seal certified chefs in the country.
“You cry every day, but you know something will come of it in the end,” she said. “The goal is to climb to the top.”
Canada’s Top Chef premieres on April 19th on the Food Network.
