Culinary Guidance and Coaching...

I just want to say hi to you-- my readers, my friends... I hope you are having a great summer with your loved ones! Spending time staying cool, cooking and eating with my family and friends has been a blast. Over the week, I have been pleasantly getting career-guidance inquiries from culinary graduates as well as those looking for a career change and I'll be taking some quality time from my blog to field them. In the last 15 years of my culinary profession, I've had the privilege to tap into different facets of the food industry, and I want people going in this field to know, there's more to making a living with food than working in a restaurant or hotel. It is an honour to give back, to provide some insight to less familiar culinary avenues and coaching the next generation, those testing the culinary waters or those who want to jump from one culinary ship to another. If you would like to contact me further on this, my email is s5ng@yahoo.com.

Lost in Life? Society assumes those who wander are wasting their time and life away. I believe incredible opportunities can be discovered along those aimless paths, and can lead to greater things. Things we never thought we could be capable of but feels so natural once we put some effort into it. I've been a culinary professional and jumped on that ship from my background in housing and real estate 15 years ago. It's been a heck of a ride and I loved every minute of it! Leaving my corporate job after being a mom was the best decision but it leaves me wondering what I will do in the next fifteen now that the kids are a little older. I too have been wandering while treading close to culinary waters and I've been discovering a new stream here and a new stream there. Exploring them more deeply has allowed me to see a whole sea of opportunities to dip my toes and hopefully to nose dive into when everything is right.

As J.R.R. Tolkien puts it, "Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost?" You are capable of great things at any stage of your life and inspiring others to dream...

I will be back with my regular family mealtime inspirations soon... be well, eat well, enjoy!
