“I would 100 per cent recommend the course,” said Diccon, one of the young people on the last How To Be A Chef cohort.
“I’ve already told a few friends about it and will continue to spread the word about it because it has been so helpful and fun for myself. The placements and trips are so informative and interesting. The connections you make and people you meet can never be lost.
