HI everybody , my name is Tessa , Im from Auckland New Zealand, I am a fully qualified Chef with lots of experience, I have just started going back to school to specialise in Patisserie.
I have been Studying at NSIA for just over 3 months now and will be studying right through 2008 and hope to go on to advanced training for another year after that.
I love to make food for others, taking amazing raw ingrediants and turning them in to something quite different. One of my passions is baking , I have been doing cake decorating as a hobby and just loving it , I love making sweets and confectionary as well as cookies , cakes, slices and all things
naughty but nice. I look forward to showing you things I have made especially from class

bye for now and talk with you real soon

IM back at school now wooohoooo

Posted 02-15-2008 at 03:20 AM by tessa (Welcome to the world of a Kiwi Chef)

Im so excited to be back at school, I have been hanging out for weeks .
My tutor is great shes a very accomplished chef and such a great and interesting teacher as well.

I have moved in to a different class and its working so much better than the other one. My school is very much an international school so its a very mixed culture which is just great. My Blogs will be more frequent as I post things about school on a regular basis.
