Spotlight

Born a Canadian citizen abroad in Manila, Philippines, Chef Timothy Barton spent his childhood travelling the world from Pakistan and New Zealand to Washington D.C., forming what would become a deep passion for food of all kinds.

Destined for a foodie life, Timothy graduated from the Culinary Management program at Algonquin College and set out for the Banff Springs Hotel. After almost seven years in the Canadian Rockies, where he achieved his Red Seal Certificate in 1999, he assisted in the opening of the CAA Five-Diamond awarded Banffshire Club. Timothy has worked at acclaimed establishments in Niagara and Ottawa, including Tulips & Maple Catering, The Brookstreet Hotel, Hy’s Steakhouse, The Ottawa Marriott Hotel, The Merlot Rooftop Grill & Spin Kitchen & Bar.

In 2012, Chef Barton and business partner Brad Henderson opened 327 Wine Bar, a destination that’s charming diners with its quaint atmosphere and fantastic culinary creations.

Timothy Barton What would people be surprised to find in your kitchen?

Whole pieces of meat. We clean whole strip loins and tenderloins. A lot of people think they’re pre-portioned.

The place is burning down; you can only grab three things from the kitchen.

My staff, my chef’s knife, my scale.

Favourite guilty pleasure? Pizza! OOOOOhh how I love my pizza!

What is your motto? Kept my Boy Scouts motto, “Be prepared.”

What do you value most in a cook? Work ethic.

You need on a desert island? A big knife, like a machete or a Tarzan hunting knife.

Cours sur les vins

N’allez pas croire que la connaissance des vins se résume à apprendre un jargon technique compliqué et à se bourrer le crâne de vagues notions. Les cours sur les vins de la LCBO démystifient le sujet sur un ton beaucoup plus léger en vous donnant des notions pratiques sur le monde du vin, qui est en constante évolution. Notre conseiller en produits traitera de différents aspects concernant l’élaboration du vin et l’harmonie entre les vins et les mets (même pour les mets où cela est difficile, comme les desserts au chocolat!), et vous fournira des renseignements utiles sur les régions productrices de vin et sur les variétés de raisins. Les cours sont étalés sur trois sessions de quatre semaines : Une introduction au monde du vin, Les vins du Vieux Continent et Les vins du Nouveau Monde.

Une partie du cours sur les vins fortifiés sera consacrée aux accords avec les mets.
