About Me

I have been training as a Pastry chef and chocolatier with William Curley for over 4 years. With William and Suzues' help and guidance I won The William Heptinstall Scholarship 2010. The Scholarship is a fund to help young chefs gain experience through work placements in other countries. William Curley won this scholarship as well, travelling to L'Esperance, France. I have been inspired by William and Suzue who have both spent time training in France. Travelling in France will be the first leg of my trip. I will also travel to Japan in October, which I am really looking forward to as Suzue has shown me many books and magazines of Japanese chefs taking Traditional french classics and making it their own with flavour and style.

The Journey Begins

The day has finally arrived and my epic journey has commenced. Leaving all my family friends and collegues has been hard as I will miss them all immensely! My journey began from Gloucester waved off by Damien (my partner) and I was a little teary eyed. I have mixed emotions today...Missing home but also excitedness for what lies ahead!
Luckily the 4 trains I have taken to arrive in Strasbourg have all connected successfully! The 10 hour journey has had me with french book in hand and headphones on hoping to improve my basic french on the way! Although the beautiful setting sun on the French country side is somewhat distracting!

Tomorrow I become aquainted with Strasbourg!

Bonne nuit!
