Executive Chef  Shaun Anderson

A Vancouver native who first got his taste of the kitchen through a high school program on Salt Spring Island, Shaun went on to train at Camosun College in Victoria before refining his skills at the prestigious Relais and Chateau-designated Hastings House Hotel, working with his mentor Marcel Kauer, then going on to work as a chef while backpacking in Australia. He then took the time to immerse himself in Thai culture, attending cooking classes during his travels in Thailand.

Lured back to British Columbia by the opportunities leading up to the 2010 Winter Olympics, it was an easy decision for Shaun to relocate to the mountains for the chance to work at world class establishments while doing everything he loves in his spare time.

It's all in a days work for Shaun who took the helm as Monk's Executive chef during the summer of 2009. Shaun and his large brigade of kitchn staff skillfully create what he describes as a fusion-style menu with a French/European backgroud, to satisfy hungry patrons who frequent the patio, lounge, bar and dining room

Although Whistler has it's ups and downs...."there is no place I would rather be right now. We are truly spoiled..I mean just look at the backgroup around us".

In his down time, Shaun loves snowboarding and mountain biking or just relaxing by the many lakes in the Sea to Sky corridor with his girlfriend and his dog.
