Dominique is a woman who thrives on challenges and has a great love for everything related to food. A go-getter and determined by nature, she even owned a delicatessen and a café/restaurant for 15 years; a place where she was in contact with different flavors from around the world and could give free rein to her culinary creativity. It goes without saying that original recipes and flavor combinations hold no secrets for her and have become her specialty.
Her love of food is also not new, she has always loved cooking and tasting different dishes. Even when traveling, she does not hesitate to get out of her comfort zone to try new flavor combinations and then, when she returns, to be inspired by them to create new meals. In fact, it is her food curiosity that allowed her to develop her palate and her great passion for the food field. As an autodidact, she likes to experiment to see which of her creations are the most successful.
On the barbecue side, Dominique grew up with a Ball-BQ, a BBQ in the shape of a football (soccer ball), which was lit with an electric element placed on briquettes. For her, cooking on the embers has always been a family tradition and at parties, even in the middle of winter, in the fireplace. Thus, all cooking methods are good for her and she does not deprive herself of tasting everything, in Quebec, as well as when traveling.
When the opportunity to work at BBQ Québec presented itself to her, she immediately knew she would like it because it is an environment that unites her love of food and human contact. Indeed, as a customer experience and events manager, she is responsible for organizing all kinds of events, both for customers and companies, and can help them discover new flavor combinations.
In the end, Dominique's greatest pleasure is to achieve ambitious goals (which she sometimes sets for herself) and to see people enjoy discovering what she has prepared, sometimes with very few ingredients. And... if she is not cooking, she is on the water's edge, kiteboarding. A real enthusiast who has it in her, this Dominique!
