Taylor Carlson — Executive Sous Chef
Taylor has been part of the team at Heritage River since 2011. She began her career as a server in the dining room. While working as a server, the daily interactions she had with the residents was something she looked forward to. She then began to work in the kitchen as a cook and was promoted to Executive Sous Chef. Taylor’s passion for food drives her aspiration to become a Red Seal Chef.
“Heritage River is like one big family; from the amazing staff I work alongside, to the wonderful residents that live here — working in their home is an honour. Seeing each resident’s smiling face every day is such a rewarding feeling. ”
Paige Lingard - Sous Chef
Growing up in my family-owned restaurant, I developed a passion for cooking and baking from an early age. I went on to study Culinary Skills at George Brown College in Toronto for three years, further developing my skills and love for the culinary arts. I am dedicated to my craft and take pride in creating food that brings people together and makes others happy. For me, cooking is more than a career—it’s a way to create meaningful experiences through food.
“Working at Heritage River has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I take great pride in creating food that not only reflects my passion and dedication, but also has the ability to brighten someone’s day. Providing guests with a memorable experience through my food is my highest priority and one of my greatest goals as a chef.”
