Nearly 30 years ago I completed my final exam in this classroom on this very bench at Alsager School. 🏫 This week I have been back demonstrating my cooking techniques to the year 11 students to help to prepare them for their final exam.

The pupils learnt about developing flavours within a dish and how to present their food in a professional and creative way. 🍲

🧡It meant the world to me to be back at the school where it all began for me and, to inspire our next generation! 🧡 I wish them all the best for the future. 🌟
