Executive Chef · Twenty two years in kitchens · Calgary
RajpalSinghRanghar
Indian, international and contemporary global cuisine.
I design menus, control food cost and build kitchen teams. Twenty two years from a trainee station in Delhi to Executive Chef roles across India, an Indian Embassy dinner in Tel Aviv, and now Canada.
Practice
Kitchens that hold a standard
My work sits where Indian regional cooking meets international technique. Equally at home building a menu from scratch, holding a food cost line, or training a brigade to keep hygiene and consistency without anyone standing over them.
Menu engineering
Designing and costing menus that hold a margin without thinning the plate.
Kitchen operations
Production lines, ordering, inventory and consistency across services.
Brigade leadership
Teams from twenty to one hundred cooks, trained to hold a standard unsupervised.
HACCP and hygiene
Food safety protocols, quality checks and audit ready kitchens.
Cost control
Food cost discipline, waste reduction and supplier negotiation.
Openings
Pre opening leadership, concept development and menu design for new outlets.

Cooking is discipline before it is creativity. Get the line right, get the cost right, train the team, and the food takes care of itself. Chef Rajpal Singh Ranghar
