Forty stories celebrating 40 years . . .

The Janus Doorways program provides specialized classes that focus on acquiring important life skills. Many community businesses have reached out to see how they can assist Janus by providing special opportunities and experiences for our participants. Here is one special story:

Clients participating in the Doorways, Chef’s Table program were very excited to work with a professional chef to increase their cooking skills. Chef Brett Lewis from the 502 East Event Centre graciously volunteered his time to share his expertise with one of the Chef’s Table cooking groups.

Chef Brett and a group of Janus clients prepared bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with almonds and Italian sabayon with berries. The food was delicious and everyone was in awe of Chef Brett’s skills and talents.

The Chef’s Table group learned about the proper measuring of ingredients, how to separate an egg, baking secrets and so much more. Chef Brett selected dishes that were easy for clients to duplicate at home and even provided recipes.
