Running a Kitchen in the Clouds Pt. 2

Behind the scenes at The Alpine Club of Canada’s General Mountaineering Camp kitchen.
There are kitchens, and then there are kitchens in the clouds.
At the Alpine Club of Canada’s General Mountaineering Camp, the kitchen sits high in the alpine, far from roads, grocery stores, and predictable weather. Everything needed to feed up to fifty people arrives by helicopter. After that, meals rely on planning, teamwork, and a willingness to adapt.
One guarantee is that no matter what happens, storms, shortages, or stove malfunctions, meals go out.
My name is Amy Pfaff, the GMC head cook, and this is a little bit of what it takes to run a kitchen in the clouds.
