Dimensions Algonquin Highlands
Born and raised in Rasht, Iran, Chef Naz Arabani was born into a family of cooks and food was very important. Each day they’d gather at 1:30pm for a family lunch, to enjoy one another and exchange stories and anecdotes. Their young palette was taken on so many gastronomic adventures.
Chef studied Art and went to Architecture School. Post graduation, it was clear they wanted to live abroad and have experiences outside of Iran, and, after a long journey and three years in Turkey, they arrived in Toronto in June, 2016.
Naz began working at one of the city’s healthy, quick serve franchises and quickly fell in love creating and found the process of cooking therapeutic – it was then they decided to dive into the restaurant industry and become a culinarian.
Following time spent at Susur Lee and Greta Solomons, both fast paced restaurants in downtown Toronto, Chef is excited for this new adventure, developing dishes that promote gut, brain, and overall health.
“I approach cooking with my eyes wide open and the curiosity of a child. My ever-evolving food philosophy is equally unguarded. At my very core I am an environmentalist and I strive to maintain a waste free kitchen, while always supporting the seasonal bounty of our local artisan farmers.” Naz Arabani, Sous Chef, Dimensions
