April 21st - Chef Vince Scigliano, Gio Prince George Hotel
Chef Vince Scigliano is the young inventive mastermind behind Gio’s distinctive menu. “Keep it fun and keep it simple” is the mantra Vince works to as he sets out to create each new recipe. “You have to start with a full appreciation of the natural and remarkable versatility of each ingredient you select”, says Vince. “Then you work to combine textures and flavours in new ways. Sometimes, when you’re really lucky, you can even manage to enhance the versatility of the ingredients you are combining, with a fresh and original discovery.”
Vince views the possibilities embodied in each ingredient as his favourite composer, Johann Sebastian Bach, might have viewed the selected notes of a central theme – as the kernels from which a magnificent fugue can seem so naturally to grow. Vince’s indefatigable work ethic is inspired by his admiration for his grandfather, and his constant goal, working whenever possible with local ingredients, is to create spectacular moments of unique flavour that surprise and delight the palate.
Hailing from Calgary and schooled in Toronto, Vince’s first introduction to Atlantic Canada was Fox Harbour, where he met the only greater passion in his life than food – his wife, Annaleisa. Among the personal traits he cites flaws is a certain intensity, but surely that’s really the greatest strength of any creative artist.
