Our Journey
Our Culinary Odyssey: From Iconic Cities to Hidden Treasures — Recreated in the Yukon
The culinary journey of Sandra and Steve is a love letter to European cuisine, written across decades and continents. From the romantic bistros of Paris to the rustic trattorias of Roma, from the beer halls of Munich to the gelaterias of Venezia and the chocolateries of Brussels, their passion for food has always followed the path of authenticity.
But they were never just tourists. Sandra, a graduate in French cuisine, and Steve, a certified Neapolitan pizzaiolo, are dedicated culinary explorers. For over 20 years, they immersed themselves in kitchens and conversations, learning from local chefs, mastering traditional techniques, and discovering time-honoured recipes passed down through generations. The elegance of a Parisian patisserie moved them as deeply as a perfectly blistered Roman pizza, and they found as much joy in a Munich beer garden as in the quiet magic of a Sirmione gelato.
Their philosophy is simple: authenticity matters. In a world where food is increasingly mass-produced and standardized — often filled with chemical additives, artificial preservatives, dyes, and other harmful substances — Sandra and Steve stand firmly for real ingredients, time-honoured techniques, and honest food made from scratch.
This belief is at the heart of Cork&Fork, their seasonal open-air restaurant nestled in the Caribou RV Park in the Yukon. Here, every dish is crafted with care and tradition. Imagine biting into house-made German sausages, prepared following century-old recipes with no additives or chemicals, or savouring a Roman-style pizza made from Italian flour and techniques taught by master pizzaiolos. Their French and Italian cheese selections reflect years spent in Provence and Alto Adige, handpicked to deliver a taste of home.
To maintain the integrity of these dishes, they exclusively hire qualified chefs from Europe, predominantly from France, each summer. These skilled professionals bring certified culinary expertise and a deep understanding of regional traditions that ensure each plate is as genuine as it would be overseas.
Every meal at Cork&Fork is a passport — a sensory journey across the European continent. It’s not just food; it’s a narrative, a memory, and an invitation to rediscover flavours that speak of heritage, culture, and authenticity.
Join Sandra, Steve, and their exceptional team for an unforgettable culinary experience, and let your taste buds explore the true essence of Europe — right here in the heart of the Yukon.
