I've been here at Black Sheep for the last six months. and it has been an absolutely fantastic learning experience. Previous to my current role in the kitchen I had been serving for 3 years. And being able to take some of the knowledge that I've gained through serving and apply it in real hands on situations in the kitchen has not only been incredibly self-fulfilling, but fun! learning the inner workings of an industry I had been on the other side of the fence of for years has given me more respect for those that cook. And more insight and understanding than I previously had.
