What Jay says…

"I joined the the 'Yes, Chef!' course to get experience in the kitchen on how to prepare, make and serve meals for not just myself but for more than one person. I am really looking forward to the baking. By coming to this course I am hoping to learn all I can regarding every aspect of life in the kitchen. By the end of the course I will have picked up a lot of skills, learned how to cook a variety of foods to perfection and have a certificate for my C.V. I have already gained a lot of knowledge and tips."
