My name is Andrew Kuse. I am originally from BC and moved to this beautiful Island in 2018, with my wife and our two kitties. Aside from cooking, I enjoy the outdoors- going to the beach, camping, hiking, fishing, etc. My favorite part of PEI is the beaches and beach combing. When I am not in the kitchen, you will usually find me gaming out. I've been a gamer since the 80's, so I like a lot of the classic games. I also collect gaming systems as well as statues and figures. I am currently selling my toy collection and moving on to bigger and better things. On Sundays, I attend/volunteer at Kings Church Charlottetown. I am proud to call PEI my home, and am honored to be bringing the fully customizeable catering option to PEI.

​

I have been cooking for 23 years.  I guess you could say, it is a passion of mine, haha.  In fact, years ago, I once told my best friend, who is now my wife, that cooking was like oxygen to me.  If someone told me I would never be able cook again, I would be lost. A huge part of me would die inside, and I would feel as though my life had lost its purpose.

​

Food is my passion - my art is creating a delicious and surprising menu that will overwhelm your every sense. Coming up with new menu ideas and new recipes is my creative outlet.  I love experimenting in the kitchen.  But what I love even more is seeing people's faces and getting their reactions after they've tasted something I made.  Food is the fastest way to the heart.

​

Another of my passions and hobbies are creating gourmet hot sauces and blended spices and rubs. I also enjoy pickling and canning. My pickled carrots are to die for!

​

Over the years, I have worked in 9 different restaurant kitchens and 3 different camp kitchens. I've learned so much over the years from each kitchen I've worked in about how things are prepared, cooked, plated and served.  Over the past 12 years, I have also done some Catering for Private Dinner Parties and Small Buffet Events. Most days, I can be found preparing food at the Redwater Grille in downtown Charlottetown on Grafton.
