My Journey
Here's a little bit about how I got here, from my grandma's kitchen to professional ones.
Where It All Started
I grew up cooking and baking with my grandma, and I have so many fond memories of those afternoons in her kitchen. She's the one who gave me my love for cooking and baking, long before I ever thought about doing this for a living.
First Taste of the Trade
My first real job was at a small lunch café, and it's where cooking turned into something I wanted to take seriously. It's the place that gave me the push to actually pursue this as a career, and I haven't looked back since.
Culinary Arts Specialisation
I went on to do a Bachelor's in Hotel Management with a specialisation in Culinary Arts. It gave me the foundation I needed to actually turn this into something real.
My Experience
Alongside my studies, I worked at Sans Cravate, a one Michelin star restaurant in Bruges, where I got to see for the first time how the Michelin world really works. I then completed my internship at Cinc Sentits, a two Michelin star restaurant in Barcelona, where I learned rigour and discipline, and got to explore Catalan cuisine along the way.
