A new executive chef, Carol Chow, is taking the helm at West Vancouver's Fraiche restaurant on April 24.

A North Shore native, Chow may not be a familiar name as she's been working for several years in London and Shanghai as a private chef. Her local resume includes stints as executive chef at Gusto di Quattro, Teahouse in Stanley Park, Hart House, and the old Beachside Café.

According to a news release, Chow's style is simple, and she is "looking forward to making the menu at Fraîche a notch more approachable".

Chow replaces Jason Harris, who is moving to the West Coast Fishing Club, a high-end lodge in the Haida Gwaii. Harris took over at Fraiche in December 2012 when then-executive chef Jefferson Alvarez left for Lift.
