Off to a fun start!

Well as my first post I'll try to make it as exciting as I can. As you can tell from my little bio, I'm Katie & a Pastry Chef.

Funny thing is, I actually don't work as a pastry chef at the moment but a line cook. I've been doing that for about a year now.
It's actually been pretty hard finding a "pastry" job in the past year. Every restaurant seems to be buying their pastries, rather than making them their selves. It can sadly be cheaper buying them from suppliers, which unfortunately makes it really hard for me to find a Pastry Chef job! But in the meantime I'm sticking to being a line cook. It satisfies my cooking need for now! But if anyone reading this knows of a Pastry Chef job, hit me up! ChefKEves@gmail.com

Any who, back to my fun crazy life. When you don't find me at work cooking up a storm, I'm at school finishing up my Bachelor's degree in Culinary Management. It's fun, but at the same time it can be very stressful, specially my current quarter, accounting. It is so dreadful. I'm only in the 3rd day of it & I'm already climbing up the walls! I'll somehow survive the madness like I always have for the past 2 1/2 years at FCI!

Another part of my life is my amazing boyfriend, David DiPino. He's my other half! Like me, he is a fellow Chef, who has been working in the industry for around 15 years. He also graduated from FAU in 2007, with his Bachelor's in Multimedia Journalism. He has been writing for the Forum Publishing Group since 2006, which some of his stories can be seen in the Sun Sentinal as well. He also writes pretty much the whole Delray Forum paper. And if that wasn't enough to keep him busy, in November 2008 he started a part time job at my work, and that's how we met!

Well I hope this post has given you a little insight into my life, and keep coming back for more of my adventures as a Chef & peacemaker!


Love&PeaceAlways.
