Chef Christine Mast
A proud Toronto native, Chef Christine Mast brings over 20 years of culinary experience to the table—literally. Her journey began at just 18, working in kitchens across Toronto and eventually spanning Canada, where she honed her skills as a cook, butcher, and chef.
Christine has earned her stripes in some of the city’s most notable restaurants, including Canoe, North 44, and Colborne Lane, as well as Two Sisters Vineyards in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Most recently, she led the kitchen as Executive Chef at Cluny Bistro & Boulangerie in the Distillery District, where her passion for bold flavors and refined simplicity came to life.
Her cooking philosophy is all about honesty on the plate—clean, elegant presentations with big, memorable flavors. She’s a strong advocate for local ingredients, small food businesses, and artisan butcher shops, believing that the best food starts with the best sources.
In addition to her time in high-profile kitchens, she has also worked as a culinary consultant, helping launch new restaurant concepts across Ontario and guiding food and beverage programs with creativity and precision.
Now at the helm of Couture Cuisine, Chef Christine brings vision, versatility, and a little fun to everything she creates.
