A Recipe from La Tablée des Chefs!
La Tablée des Chefs has long been dedicated to developing food autonomy among young people through educational programs. We are fortunate to have them at the Village Gourmand to present a culinary demonstration true to their mission: helping young people develop cooking skills and acquire tools to make healthy food choices. A deliciously educational moment!
Olivier Louissaint
Chef Oli, a self-taught culinary artist, climbed the ranks in the kitchens of various restaurants before becoming an entrepreneur in 2015. His mission is to showcase to the general public the joy and simplicity of cooking by breaking down the process into easy-to-understand steps. He likes to say he specializes in "comprehensible cuisine."
As a visible minority who grew up in Montreal, Chef Oli wished he had seen inspiring role models who represented him on Quebec television. This desire fuels his dual mission:
1. To inspire young people (and the young at heart) to embrace the limitless opportunities life offers when they discover a passion and pursue it wholeheartedly.
2. To remain true to his nature and cultural richness while celebrating and promoting the cuisine of both Quebec and the wider world.
Chef Oli has appeared alongside Marina Orsini on *5 chefs dans ma cuisine*, on the set of *Curieux Bégin*, in *Sauve ma recette* (seasons 1 and 2), and in various televised culinary competitions. Since 2023, Olivier Louissaint, known as Chef Oli, has hosted his own show. In *Chef Oli vire champêtre*, he invites viewers to join him on his "crazy idea" of opening a countryside dining experience.
Now a weekly contributor to *Salut Bonjour*, Olivier hosts the "Moment de cuisine" segment every Tuesday at 9:15 a.m.
