Chef Nash, as Visram is known around town, is an expert when it comes to East Indian cooking. The interesting part, though, is that Visram did not begin his career as an East Indian chef, but rather learned the continental cuisine during his training in England. His expertise in all foods East Indian has come as the result of demand from customers in Western Canada.
Visram was born and raised in Kenya, but when it came time to consider higher education, his sights were set outside the country. In the 1960s, he says, Kenyans looked overseas for post-secondary education, so he headed to London to study hotel management. His topic of choice was a natural one – at that time, tourism was booming in Mombasa and around the African country so the expectation was that Kenyans would learn overseas and then come back to their own country to ply their trade.
Visram, though, was recruited after his studies by Hilton Hotels, one of several international hotel companies seeking qualified applicants. He headed to Canada to continue his training at the company’s flagship hotel in Montreal. Western Canada became the next stop on his itinerary when he moved to Edmonton after getting married, Once there, he expanded his repertoire by running his own enterprises in the food industry while working at Western hotels.
