My Philosophy
There are no wrong answers only bad ideas.
-
Success is simply doing it.
School is the perfect place to explore our ideas and make mistakes. We are here to learn how to make wonderful culinary and professional decisions in the workplace.
Use the time in labs to really get comfortable in each skill. Cooking professionally is about doing the same thing a million times in an identical fashion.
