We are excited to introduce to you Jon Garwood, a member of our community who dared to chase his dreams! We met Jon when he attended our Chinatown's Dim Sum and Dumpling Crawl in August. Back then Jon was very excited about joining a culinary school in Bangkok. Here he is telling us more about his journey.
What got you into cooking and when did you decide you had to take it more seriously?
My mum and grandmas on both sides were all great home cooks, from a young age I used to love helping them baking cakes and puddings, cooking pies and roast dinners. I became a keen home cook myself as an adult, using cooking as a stress reliever from my previous job and as an excuse to get friends or family together for a party. Once I quit my desk job, I decided, with strong encouragement from people I love, to follow a passion and see where it would take me, so I enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu in Bangkok to learn French cuisine, with a plan to just study for 3 months. I loved it so much I decided to carry on and do the 2nd part in London and am about to graduate the last 3 months back here in Bangkok.
