Description

Congratualtions for picking my class!

When I was 16 years old I started my apprenticeship in a famous 5* star hotel in Berlin, Germany. Although I was so excited to learn everything about cooking and kitchen, I was completely green behind my ears and a total rooky. I was extremely nervous too. It took me literally decades to learn all the skills necessary to perform on the highest level.

In short: if you want to become a professional chef who is highly organized, able to handle stressful environments, has physical and mental stamina, is creative,  wants to make career abroad and earn good money, then you will love this course!

So let's get started!
