Summary

I recently traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico to experience a different view of food and have fallen into a world of gastronomy. As a 20 year old with a passion for food I consistently question myself when cooking and want to know more about the food I am preparing. After being in a restaurant for a year and a half and moving up, jumping station to station learning from my fellow chefs, experiencing failure and learning from it. I can say that I have fallen in love with the hospitality industry and food.
