Understanding the value of mentorship and team development, Chef Nico Schuermans is committed to supporting cooks in developing their own cuisine style. Each month, an up-and-coming talent from Chambar’s kitchen will take the lead, presenting a set menu with dishes inspired by their heritage. Showcasing nostalgic home cooking or unique ingredients from where they grew up, these chefs will offer their signature interpretations, bringing fresh global flavours to the table.
Join us for Vol. 1, featuring a homestyle 4 Course meal by Nikola Janitsova.
Born and raised in Ružomberok, Slovakia, Nikola's passion for food was ignited by her stepfather’s hearty cooking. After moving to Canada in 2015 with her boyfriend, she joined Chambar as a dishwasher and quickly climbed the ranks, falling in love with the energy and creativity of the kitchen. In 2018, she proudly became a permanent resident, a pivotal moment in her culinary journey. For her Apprentice Dinner this April, Nikola draws inspiration from her Slovak heritage, blending tradition with her love for comforting, soulful dishes. Join us as she showcases a menu that reflects her roots, her journey, and her passion for food.
