My first Post!

I must admit, I have been thinking for a while of sharing my ideas of this “New Business” that I got myself into, but I have always found it harder to put these thoughts onto paper then talking with friends or family, but I eventually said I’d give it a go!

My name is Lu and I am a mother of two beautiful girls. When I had my second child, I decided to change my career. I worked as a Marketing Manager for much of my career, and though it was a job that I enjoyed, I knew it was time to try something different. There were a lot of reasons that influenced this decision, but we can leave this for another time.

Just before I found out that I was pregnant with my first child, I was actually back in College studying on a Culinary Course. I have to say, I LOVE cooking. I LOVED the course more then I thought it possible to LOVE a course. I was doing great, even with my big belly around the College’s kitchen. The whole experience was amazing. Despite the difficulties of being trying to balance being pregnant with studying, I didn’t give up and I finished the course. My only regret back then was that I didn’t pursue the area. After having my baby I thought that my life as a CHEF was over. The kitchen schedule is pretty hard and it wouldn’t fit around my family schedule. I thought at the time that I was giving up this career and that the rest of my career was destined to be ‘back in the office’.

The truth is, we never know which way the wind is going to blow. I thought that was the end of my time in the kitchen, but then life turned upside-down again!

All the Best,
