For the Love of Food<\/b><\/h5>\n

At Angel Hill, we know that the heart of exceptional catering lies in the passion and skill of our chefs. That’s why we’ve established the ‘Culinary Classroom,’ an internal chef training program designed to harness and elevate the culinary talents within our ranks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Culinary Classroom is a year-long journey that offers chefs from across our organisation the unique opportunity to hone their craft and delve deeper into the intricacies of the culinary world. With a strong focus on essential skills and a deep understanding of our supply chain, this program equips our chefs with the tools they need to excel in the dynamic catering industry.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Module Diversity<\/b><\/h5>\n

The heart of the Culinary Classroom lies in its diverse curriculum. Our chefs embark on a thrilling educational journey that encompasses various facets of their profession:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Kitchen Management: Chefs learn the art of efficient kitchen management, ensuring every culinary operation runs smoothly.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Seasonality: Understanding the ebb and flow of seasonal ingredients is crucial in crafting menus that showcase the best of each season.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Menu Planning: Chefs master the art of menu creation, crafting dishes that delight the palate and meet the highest culinary standards.<\/span><\/li>\n

    Beyond the Kitchen<\/b><\/h5>\n

    The Culinary Classroom is more than just classroom learning. It’s an interactive, practical, and enjoyable experience. It encourages our chefs to break away from the routine of their daily tasks and venture out to explore the broader food chain.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Farm Visits: <\/b>Our chefs first-hand see where our ingredients originate. These visits foster a deep appreciation for the quality and origin of our produce.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Workshops:<\/b> Specialised workshops led by industry experts expand our chefs’ horizons and expose them to new culinary perspectives.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Trade Shows:<\/b> The program includes visits to trade shows and culinary events, keeping our chefs up-to-date with the latest trends and innovations in the catering world.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

    \n
    A Path to Leadership<\/b><\/h5>\n

    The Culinary Classroom is not just about enhancing skills; it’s also about nurturing leaders. We’re proud that many of our senior chefs have come through the ranks, starting their culinary journey with Angel Hill and rising to lead our ever-growing catering division.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In conclusion<\/strong>, the ‘Culinary Classroom program is a testament to our commitment to culinary excellence and the growth of our talented chefs. Through this initiative, we aim to ensure that every dish we serve reflects our team’s passion, dedication, and expertise. Angel Hill is not just a catering company; it’s a culinary journey filled with love and dedication to the art of food.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

    \n \u201cSince its launch in 2015, we\u2019ve had over 60 colleagues progress through their journeys in the class, and it\u2019s been an absolute privilege of mine to mentor and guide our people. Giving our people the opportunity to have new experiences and gain knowledge, skills and confidence in their profession gives me immense pride; it\u2019s a true pleasure to behold each year\u2019s class bond over their shared passion, a love for food.”
    \r\n
    \r\n“Over the year, our Culinary Classroom has paved the way for our aspiring chefs to achieve their goals and aspirations, taking them to places they never thought possible within the industry. It\u2019s been an absolute privilege to be a part of it; I can\u2019t wait to see and meet the new chefs we take onto the Culinary Classroom in the future.” <\/p>\n
