3rd year here we come!

As our second year students embark on their final exams. We are proud of all you have accomplished. Goodluck! Chef Gordon once quoted a famous chef, Jacques Pepin "I tell a student that the most important class you can take is technique. A great chef is first a great technician. 'If you are a jeweler, or a surgeon or a cook, you have to know the trade in your hand. You have to learn the process. You learn it through endless repetition until it belongs to you."

Congratulations to:

Minenhle Ntombela and Monica Thursfield
