Meet Chef Sheldon - Now Available for Hire

Hello: My name is Sheldon Valleau, and I'm a private chef among other things. It was "the other things" that lead me to my passion for food. It all started with music. My brother and I formed a band called The Polyjesters and lived in the south of France for four years, traveling Europe frequently as performers. We found ourselves playing often in Monaco , playing for the prince of Monaco several times as well as royalty in his brood from all over the globe. There were three things these folk held high above other things. Food, Music and Fine Liquors. As respected guests, we were showered with outstanding cuisine. That's where my palette was born. The Chefs admired our craft to entertain, and we admired their culinary skills. I'd often end up in the kitchen of these mansions discussing the dishes they prepared whether they were Italian, French, German, English or Spanish Chefs. I soaked it all in, whether we spoke the same language or not. Returning to Canada found me living in Montreal and Vancouver, but touring all over Canada and The USA. In Vancouver I dove into Asian cuisine. The Rocky Mountain tours found us hanging with some Krishnas where I learned Indian vegetarian influences. The southern States taught me to BBQ and now have developed a collection of smokers. The east coast brought me knowledge of seafood and a lighter attitude towards dining atmospheres. With all these combined experiences I have developed my own style. Whether it be a dinner party or a backyard BBQ/Smoker event, I'm ready to serve you. Now here's the icing. I will perform for you during dessert! You can even email me your favourite songs and I will learn them to play for listening pleasure. If it's a BBQ/Smoker day, chances are the ukelele won't leave my hands too often!
