“One cannot think well, love well and sleep well
if one has not dined well.”
Virginia Woolf
We have known each other for over 35 years, since meeting at Highbury Catering College in the late 1970s, in those days the College had 40 Lecturers, all specialists in their field, and we were very fortunate to be taught to the highest levels in classical Haute Cuisine.
We were both total swats and left after 3 years with a string of City & Guilds and a Professional Diploma in Cookery and a lifelong friendship. We went our separate ways of course and both headed straight for the hotel trade, Angela to London and Jane to the New Forest.
Jane travelled the world with the Army, before settling in Warsash with her children. She then took the helm as Head Chef at County Caterers, where she remained for 10 years. Jane has prepared and cooked for the Royal Family including HRH Queen Elizabeth II, she has managed a team of male chefs, cooked for private dinners of 10 people and huge banquets of 600 as well as catering for a Nursery full of hungry children for over 10 years. As her children have flown the nest to warmer climes, she now has a slightly easier time and is enjoying becoming a recent Grandmother.
Angela settled back here on the sunny south coast to bring up her children, but continued to work in outside catering and school kitchens. She then decided to qualify as a teacher and was lucky enough to teach Catering and Hospitality at Fareham College for a number of years. Following her time at Fareham College she had a yearning for wine, so re-trained and learnt an awful lot about wines and spirits, gaining the WSET Diploma after 3 hard years of study and worked for the very prestigious Berry Bros. & Rudd, where she stayed for 8 years before leaving to work for herself and see more of her Grandchildren.
