Young and Enthusiastic
Hi, Welcome, I hope we can spend a few moments together, as you get to know the journey behind my story. Cooking is my passion, and has been a a big part of my life for a long time.
As with many people my first memories of cooking would have to be delicious smells and taste of baking with my Gran.
Experimenting with cooking in the classroom at school, I found that this was what I was good at. The realisation that crafting ingredients into delicious plates of food could bring pleasure and confidence to others, my mind was made up. Creative Cookery is what I want to do for the rest of my life!
My Experience & Learning Journey
Keen to lean I trained as a Commis at Farmer Palmers Farm Park, Dorset. Luckily for me White Pepper Chef Academy and Cookery School was a hop, skip and a jump across a field away from home! An intensive 16 weeks resulted in NVQ Level 4 Diploma at Gold Level.
Patisserie is my secret passion and my first job at Le Petit Prince Patisserie was cut short by the 2020 Coronavirus Lockdown. Not to be deterred I saw furlough as an opportunity to delve into new avenues to reach out to people who want to improve their cookery skills.
