about

HI! My name is Kate and I'm extremely passionate about food, obviously! Currently I'm studying at Le Cordon Bleu, doing an advanced diploma of hospitality, specialising in Patisserie, but really I love all sorts of cooking. At the moment though, I'm doing my 6 month placement at a little patisserie. This is my way of documenting my progress as a cook and patissiere and slowly building a portfolio to further my culinary interest :)

Recently for my friends 20th, I invited some friends for a 5 course meal at my place. I have always wanted to serve a degustation menu, and this was probably my first attempt at anything close! the menu consisted of home made ciabatta with a rocket, prosciutto and feta salad, handmade gnocchi in sage butter on a roast pumpkin mash, veal scallopini with eggplant, mozzarella and a tomato mushroom sauce, chocolate tarts with honeycomb and caramelised banana, and a lemon, mint and vodka granita to finish. A challenging days work but i loved every minute and although not everything turned out how I planned, it was a great way to celebrate my friends 20th :)
