Success Stories

2002 - 2003

Vivianne Allen,
My Private Chef , Personal Chef Services

Viviane finished her chef training at BCIT about 20 years ago and has been working in the restaurant industry until just over a year ago. At that time, she took a career evaluation course and was introduced to the concept of self-employment and the programs available with Toward Excellence. She registered immediately for the Design Your Future Program in July 2002, went from there right into the SE Program and has never looked back.

Vivianne has a passion to be a catalyst for her client's health by using her tools as a chef. In addition to her culinary skills, she is a certified Herbalist. She saw the need for people with busy lives to have healthy, homemade meals, made-to-order and ready to serve. This saves her clients time, money and promotes well-being by delivering healthy alternatives to fast food or TV dinners. She does everything from the menu planning to grocery shopping, ensuring the best gourmet meals are prepared right in your own home.

She provides special menus for diabetics, heart patients, or any other special diet requirements. Her specialty is vegetarian and vegan fare. She will come into your home to give you a taste of what a private chef can do for you. Call Vivianne to try out her service or if you want more information on how she can help you eat gourmet meals without the work or the mess! Vivianne is living her dream and earning a living doing what she loves to do! Are you?
