This is a very late post…2 years ago today….😍
2019, was one of the most amazing years I’ve ever had. A busy year too. My beautiful Mum came back to visit me after nearly 14 years to open up, and do the ceremonial ribbon cutting for my first ever Solo Photographic Exhibition. This was held at Small Forest Wines in Denman NSW, owned and operated by our talented friend and winemaker, Atsuko Radcliffe. 🍷🍷🍷
My friend, Tracey Sgroi and I set up the exhibition space with Atsuko on the 3rd of September, for an opening date of the 7th of September 2019.
Then back to Sydney, 9-10 September 2019 for a Masterclass with Maggie Beer, “Creating an Appetite for Life.”
It was such a beautiful experience to witness the knowledge and infectious passion of Maggie and her amazing team.
I wanted to learn how to make tastefully made dishes for our Seniors spending time in Home Care Facilities. Creating dishes for our seniors is an art in itself.
Having Mum around for 3 months was a good way to test some dishes. 😍
I was so honoured to be able to cook and present a dish to Maggie and work alongside passionate Chefs and Cooks. I learned so much from this experience and opened my eyes to the challenging realities the industry faces everyday.
Cooking will always be part of me. But for now, I have to set aside my Chef’s whites, Hat and Apron meantime as I focus on my health and wellbeing after a year of Health issues and ongoing rehabilitation. Teaching Yoga and studying Yoga on a deeper level will be my focus for now. 🧘♀️
Being a Chef is immensely stressful especially in the commercial world.
Thank you to all I have met along the way in my foodie adventures, to those who have shared meals with me and countless stories. To those who have enriched my life, one flavour and one mouthful at a time. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!🙏🏻
For now, I just happily cook for myself, family and very close friends in the capacity I can.
In my own time, un-hurried, but with lots of love. ❤️❤️❤️
Have fun whatever it is you are doing…until our next dish/meal together! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
