March 5, 2016 – Julie Van Rosendaal for CBC: Tucked into a corner of the Calgary Farmers’ Market, beside a door I always try to park close to — Shef’s Fiery Kitchen dishes out some of the city’s best Indian and Thai-inspired curries, along with fresh butter and garlic naan cooked in a tandoor oven.
Owner Shefali (Shef) and her sister Sharon grew up with a mom who loved to cook — first in Mississauga, then Dubai before landing in Calgary 30 years ago.
“I hung out in the kitchen with my mom all the time — I was always interested in food,” Shef says.
After earning a bachelor of arts degree at the University of Lethbridge and a brief stint as a pharmacy technician, Shef decided that coming from a family of entrepreneurs, she didn’t want to work for anyone else anymore. Since food was her first love, she knew that was the direction she wanted to go.
“I always knew I wanted to run my own business, like my dad and grandpa,” Shef says. “It’s in my blood.”
