Good Luck Joshua

Joshua Blackmore, one of our own Windermere's Café Chef's has a an exciting week ahead; here's what Joshua is up to -

Some information about the competition:

The Ontario Technological Skills Competition, at the RIM park in Waterloo, Monday May 5

Every college in Ontario sends 1 or 2 representatives from each trade to represent them, I am representing Fanshawe for culinary arts. 

I have about 8 hours to create 3 courses, including a broccoli soup, an entree with duck, and a dessert including a raspberry mousse.  The rest of the details are up to me.  I have been practicing for 3 months now at Saffron's and at home in between my busy work schedule.  Windermere/Kristian has been supportive along the way and arranged the the time off I need for a final practice rehearsal on Saturday, I go up on Sunday and compete on Monday.  Award ceremonies are on Wednesday.  

 

So let's hope I come back to work on Thursday with an award!  Regardless I already consider it an accomplishment and I'm grateful for all the support I've received.

All the best for Monday Joshua, congratulations on this accomplishment so far, Neil
