Graduate story
“My dream to become a chef began behind my grandmother's house recreating my own dish with left over food and leaves in tins and plastic containers. Whenever I played house, I was always in the kitchen making food for my family. I am a former graduate at GCCA currently on my 4th year as a Chef and presently working in USA.”
