Bill Wimberly: Who's Who at Canadian Foodies

I have had a passion for all things food for over thirty years. I hold a culinary degree, and served under a master chef for my baptism into the ranks of food professionals. I have hands-on experience in restaurants, institutions, and food manufacturing operations. I have served as Corporate Executive Chef for several restaurant and catering companies, and Plant and Operations Manager for several food manufacturing companies.

The first tool required, to be successful as a foodie, is passion; one must love all things food. The second secret to success (or just having fun) is learning the mother sauces, and the basics. Finally, you need to just dive in and have fun with it, do it for fun; do ity for yourself.

My personal goal in the food world is to enjoy the simple pleasures in a complex world. I enjoy real people food, with fresh ingredients that people have actually heard of! One need not have an engineering degree (remember simple pleasures) to be a good cook, just passion, imagination, and courage. Don't worry about being a gourmet, just cook what you like, and let your passion and imagination run wild!

So folks, settle back and get ready to have some fun with food, and more fun with Billy. If Bill Wimberly Cooks, so can you!!!
