4 years ago, if you had asked me "what do I think about cooking?" I would have probably answered "I'm not a great cook, but the best cooks I know, are my mom and dad. My dad's soups warms not only your belly, but your soul too". Fast tract to today and I can boldly say I'm one of the best culinary students in the CUT hotel SCHOOL and just yesterday Chef Obakeng Moholo (executive/operational chef) nicknamed me 'Coco powder' after a container full of coco fell on top of me from the top shelf. Other students would have left and took the rest of the day off. But I remained after dusting myself off and the following 16 hours I worked my butt off to make the best of my last class. My other duties, apart from being headchef, was to bake chocolate brownies and create a cheesecake with caramelized onion jam. The latter dish was very complicated, however I pulled it off and I was super proud of myself. Yesterday's culinary class was my last at the CUT hotel school but it won't be the last in the culinary world. I appreciate every single step on this journey and I am thankful for everyone who has become a part of my life as a result.
