She91裸聊视频檚 only 19 years old and yet she91裸聊视频檚 already moved across the world, switched provinces and91裸聊视频攎ore importantly91裸聊视频攖aken the Canadian culinary world by storm.
Beccy Stables is this year91裸聊视频檚 winner of Masterchef Canada, the youngest contestant to ever snag the culinary title.
91裸聊视频淚t meant the world to me. I can inspire kids to get back in the kitchen, people of my age, the young adults,91裸聊视频� Stables said from her Kelowna home.
Those young people, often who go for the take-out option instead of cooking a meal themselves, Stables said.
91裸聊视频淚 think we are losing some of that. Cooking for yourself, having your friends over and having a dinner party. That is what makes memories, that is how you spend time with people, around the table,91裸聊视频� she said.
91裸聊视频淧eople have so many food memories. A certain smell and you think, 91裸聊视频極h my God, that reminds me of one time with me mom.91裸聊视频� It takes you back places and I love that. I really want to inspire the younger generation to get back in the kitchen.91裸聊视频�
While she was the youngest contestant to win, Stables said age was just a number on the Masterchef set.
91裸聊视频淏eing the youngest was strange at first because you think people are going to treat you like a baby, but they didn91裸聊视频檛. The group of contestants were like a family, everyone was just so welcoming to each other. It was very nice to be in an environment where age didn91裸聊视频檛 matter.91裸聊视频�
One of the things that set Stables apart this season was the 91裸聊视频渞ag to riches91裸聊视频� story line portrayed on the show. Unlike some of the other contestants, Stables91裸聊视频� culinary experiences were limited as she had zero professional experience or training and had never tasted or worked with many of the higher-end ingredients contestants are given.
91裸聊视频淚 grew up on a lot of English food 91裸聊视频� so starchy, kind of wintery food.
91裸聊视频淚t was very interesting to work with these ingredients, I loved it and I could learn so much. I had never worked with them before and its the best opportunity to work them, because you don91裸聊视频檛 have to pay for it,91裸聊视频� she added with a laugh.
While her initial plan on the show was to use the winnings to attend culinary school, Stables has chosen a different path.
91裸聊视频淚 want be a self-taught cook, I think that91裸聊视频檚 really special to have that because not many people do that anymore,91裸聊视频� she added.
While Stables was born in Grimsby, U.K., she spent the last decade in Sherwood Park, Alta., and now Canada91裸聊视频檚 Masterchef is calling the Okanagan home.
91裸聊视频淭he Okanagan provided a better lifestyle for us and my niece, she loves the water and the hotter environment,91裸聊视频� said Stables about their move across the provincial line.
91裸聊视频淎nd, the type of food I want to do is this naturesque kind of thing and it is just so beautiful here. You look out, see a mountain and I think, ya I am going to put that on a plate.91裸聊视频�
She also said the abundance of great local produce is something the Okanagan had over Alberta. All reasons she91裸聊视频檚 decided to open her first venture right here on the shores of Okanagan Lake.
91裸聊视频淢y and my family started a catering company here in Kelowna that91裸聊视频檚 called Bec Catering and it is letting me be myself,91裸聊视频� said Stables.
91裸聊视频淚 want to put nature back on the plate. I want to 91裸聊视频榰n-Americanize91裸聊视频� Canadian cuisine and bring it into its own. When you think Canada, you think maple syrup and poutine and ya they91裸聊视频檙e good, they91裸聊视频檙e very good, but that91裸聊视频檚 what we91裸聊视频檙e known for, but we have all this and no one is capitalizing on it the way I want to do it. I want to show people what this country has to offer in a way no one else is really doing it right now.91裸聊视频�
Stables and her family moved to the Kelowna area just two weeks ago, all of them geared towards making Stables91裸聊视频� new venture a success.
91裸聊视频淚t is just so beautiful here, we are so lucky to live here.

And it is a true Stables family venture with her sister as manager, her dad as a cook and her mom as a dual babysitter/dishwasher.
Her journey to running her own boutique catering company in Kelowna all began with her love of food, of cooking and of the TV show Masterchef.
91裸聊视频淚 applied as it just seemed like such a great opportunity, it looked like so much fun, there were so many young people and it just looked like such a great opportunity to get my name out there,91裸聊视频� said Stables.
91裸聊视频淚 love the learning aspect of food, I find it so interesting. There is so much to learn all the time, there is always something new and everywhere you go has a different culture.91裸聊视频�
She applied and didn91裸聊视频檛 think too much of it until she got the call that turned her life into a whirlwind.
91裸聊视频淚 was just like, 91裸聊视频極h my God,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� said Stables. 91裸聊视频淚f you can get the call you91裸聊视频檙e on, it is very rushed after that. They tell you, you need this, this, this and this and plane tickets and pack this and you91裸聊视频檙e there and it91裸聊视频檚 a rush.91裸聊视频�
She said that while some viewers believe the show appears scripted, what you see is what you get.
91裸聊视频淲hen you see them cheering on the balcony, that91裸聊视频檚 real. When Kaegan dropped his cake, that was real, like that actually happened, you cannot even script that stuff,91裸聊视频� said Stables. 91裸聊视频淓verything that happened, happened.91裸聊视频�
