Chef Joseph Gosselin

I am a classically trained chef from Québec, currently based in Vancouver and working internationally under contract. I grew up on a bison ranch in northern Québec, where hunting, fishing, foraging, gardening, and preserving shaped my deep respect for the land and its natural rhythms.

I trained under Chef Daniel Vézina at Laurie Raphaël in Québec City, followed by stage experiences in Michelin-starred restaurants in France and Italy. My career has since taken me around the world as a private chef, including time aboard a superyacht across the Mediterranean, Asia, and South Africa, and five years in Australia focused on Asian flavors.

I later returned to Canada to co-open Forage with Chef Chris Whittaker, earning national recognition including Best New Restaurant in Canada and Chef de Cuisine of the Year, followed by the opening of Timber. Most recently, I served as Executive Chef at Echo Valley Ranch in the Cariboo region, overseeing the entire food cycle—from seed to plate—while cooking for intimate luxury groups. I now seek my next opportunity creating meaningful, land-driven culinary experiences.
