Chef Joshua Clarke

I cook to tell you a story—ingredient-driven, seasonal, and deeply personal.

Jaspreet Brar

I create ingredient-led dining experiences that feel like a story at the table.

I fell in love with cooking as a kid, and I’ve been exploring this craft ever since. After completing my Culinary Management Diploma at Humber Polytechnic, I sharpened my skills in Italian kitchens where the focus was always on ingredients and the philosophy of “minimum effort, maximum satisfaction.”

From there, I expanded my range through different styles of operations—including an izakaya (Japanese bar), an internship at the Old Mill, and multiple stages across the region. I later moved into private dining in Muskoka, where I was promoted to private chef, and in the summer you can find me cooking throughout Muskoka while staying rooted in the Toronto area.

I pick the best ingredients and do very little to them.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I treat cooking like an art form

Cooking is an art form in my eyes—an expression of who I am. I want every dish to give you a glimpse into my world through flavor, technique, and thoughtful simplicity.

I’ve built my craft through training and real kitchens

I trained at Humber Polytechnic in the Culinary Management diploma program, and I also completed an internship at the Old Mill. Those experiences shaped my standards, my organization, and the way I approach service in both restaurant and private settings.

I keep my philosophy simple: ingredients first

My “secret” in the kitchen is to pick the best ingredients and do very little to them. I focus on clarity, balance, and letting quality products speak for themselves.
