The Chef's Domain

A visual and culinary delight, each episode of The Chef's Domain follows a chef's odyssey as they search for the local ingredients needed for the ultimate field to table feast. Every great chef dreams of sourcing their ingredients just outside their back door. But in this country, depending on the time of year, they can have their work cut out for them. In this 18 part series, our acclaimed chefs from across the country are up for the challenge. With the clock ticking, they must race to find the freshest possible ingredients available while grappling with short growing seasons, torrential rains, hurricanes and early snowfalls. For them, the Canadian climate and landscape are equal parts challenge and inspiration. These chefs have to improvise based on what they have found (or couldn't find) and then create a memorable and inventive locally based dinner. The Chef's Domain celebrates the beauty and bounty of Canada through the culinary talents of its chefs.

Tofino, BC: Chefs Nicholas Nutting and Matt Wilson

In remote Tofino, on Vancouver Island's breathtaking western shore, Vancouver Island native Chef Nicholas Nutting and Aussie ex-pat Pastry Chef Matt Wilson are put to the test. To lure back the tourists in a post recession economy, Wickaninnish Inn owner Charles McDiarmid will host a dinner party for influential food and travel writers. Fishing for fresh spot prawns at the crack of dawn, foraging for mushrooms in the northern rainforests and harvesting kelp right out of the Pacific, our chefs are on a mission to ensure that only Tofino's freshest ingredients end up on the beachside table.
