A few days ago, @tomryjoyce sent me a picture on WhatsApp from our college days, and it made me realise that today marks 14 years since I graduated from Westminster Kingsway College (now @westminster_capitalcitycollege ). I still remember going in for the assessment before being accepted onto the course. The lecturers took us around the different kitchens, made us taste coloured jellies to see if we could recognise the flavours, and gave us a few quizzes. I also remember being asked if I was prepared to spend 12 hours a day on my feet. Little did I know that sometimes it would be closer to 16! 😅 My final year was quite challenging, trying to juggle a part-time job at a Michelin-starred restaurant, full-time studies and some sort of social life. But I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I met so many wonderful people along the way, both lecturers and fellow students, many of whom I’m lucky enough to still call friends today. Looking back, I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such brilliant teachers and so many opportunities to learn, practise and experience what working in a professional kitchen was really like. Between our classes and work placements, we were given such a solid foundation for the years ahead. I wish I had more pictures from those days, but I honestly don’t remember having my phone on me very often. My parents and my brother flew over from Brazil for my graduation, which made the day even more special. I was so happy to share that milestone with them, and later that evening, to take them for dinner at Launceston Place, the restaurant where I was working at the time. A memory I’ll always treasure. 14 years on, I’m still so grateful for that chapter of my life. For the dedicated lecturers who shared their knowledge so generously, the friendships made along the way, and all the experiences that helped shape the chef I am today. Love, Caroline xx
