Thank you for deciding to expand your palate and quench your thirst for knowledge by enrolling in The Aspiring Chefs Culinary Mentorship Program (TACC). I admire your hunger to practice and grow your craft and I am honored that you have chosen me to walk with you on such an important journey in your life. I remember when I decided to take the leap and invest in my passion for cooking. Now I am an Executive Chef of my own private chef & catering company. More importantly, I am better at and more confident in what I do. I will help you to also grow your confidence as you grow in your craft. I am eager to teach you the things about the culinary industry that I know are important for The Aspiring Chef.
The Aspiring Chefs Culinary Mentorship Program won’t teach you everything. Even the best culinary schools can’t and don’t because there’s way too much ground to cover. Don’t get tied up in trying to know everything because that’s literally what will happen -you’ll get tied up. Plus, there’s such a wide array of culinary artistry that we don’t want to miss out on. Remote school isn’t easy. You have to be super disciplined in making sure that you give it the attention that it needs. It’s up to you to dive into the lessons and do the work.
