[tessa]

Hi everybody , my name is Tessa, im a chef from New Zealand , i have been a qualified chef since 1986 worked in the industry for for about 14-15 yrs had a big break from it then came back in to this amazing industry fulltime 3 yrs ago.
Some things need to be relearnt, but its amazing how much passion and fire in my belly is with in me.
I would like to do a patisserie course next year, and am currently working in a buffet restaurant as a dessert chef.
I love cooking and working with food , taking amazing raw ingrediants and turning them in to something different.

I have just (in the last week) participated in NZ's Salon Culinare , entered my first live competition and won a Bronze medal in a food and wine matching comp.. I was so excited and thrilled.
ciao for now and look forward to talking with you all soon Tessa
