As some of you may know, I have always wanted to travel and explore food,
culture and humans. And so in a months time, I will be packing my chef knives and traveling to Europe. My first stop will be France where I will be doing a 3-month stage with a young Michelin star chef named Florent Ladeyn. He has opened 2 restaurants( Auberge Du Vert Mont and Bloempot) and in late March of this year, he will be opening his third called Bierbuik.
As I was doing my research on this young Chef, whether through YouTube videos, personal interviews or news articles. I noticed a humble, family oriented and highly creative human.
Who focuses on fresh local sustainable foods, pleasing his guests, and keeping both his staff and family well balanced. For my part, this opportunity offers me both a cultural and career learning experience. As I mentioned he only uses local fresh ingredients, buys from the region's business owners and though he is always thinking outside the box, he stays close to his french roots. This chef wants his cooks to serve and present their dishes to his guests, so this will also allow me to practice in the dining room.
From that point on, I plan on traveling and volunteering in various non-profit organizations around the world offering my skill set both in the kitchen and human relations. I figured this would be a wonderful way of helping humans in need and continuing my education in food.
Some of the areas I have been looking into have been India, Vietnam, and Jamaica.
Why these countries? Well because first they have created some of my favorite foods, and second they are countries that always need aid.
So here you have it, I will be continuing my blogging so that you will be able to enjoy my future adventures and education experience.
Chix:)
