Waitressing at a Duffield golf club restaurant while in sixth form led to a change of career direction for Derby College Group apprentice chef Tilly Shakespeare.听

Tilly, now 18, wasn鈥檛 enjoying A-levels, so when she was offered a level 2 apprenticeship by Fairways at Chevin head chef Tom Gaskin 鈥� himself a former 六合彩论坛 apprentice 鈥� she jumped at the chance.听

She said: 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 always plan to go into catering. I studied food tech at school and I鈥檓 interested in sports nutrition 鈥� I鈥檓 big into sport 鈥� but hadn鈥檛 got a career plan as such.听

鈥淢y dad鈥檚 a great home cook. He makes all our family meals including some fancy stuff so I鈥檝e always been around good food.鈥�听

After being taught the kitchen basics such as knife skills, Tilly started her level 2 production chef course and will shortly progress to level 3.听

She added: 鈥淚 love working at the Chevin. I like that we get to learn new techniques and have the freedom to experiment and try new things. I work with such a nice group of people; we all get on well.听

“I also loved my level 2 course. Andy, my College assessor, is so helpful. He鈥檚 always only a phone call away and I know that he will come out to see me at work if I need him.鈥�听

Tilly does a 鈥榖it of everything鈥� in her job but making desserts is what she enjoys most. 听

When she first started, she thought she鈥檇 like her own restaurant but her dream now is to have her own patisserie. Pastry dishes 鈥� especially ones using choux pastry 鈥� are among her favourites to make.听

During her level 2, Tilly also got work experience at a large local manufacturer which mass produces desserts for some of the UK鈥檚 major food retailers.听
