About From Stephanie to Chefanie

What does it take to become a chef? Great question, and over the next twelve weeks, I’m going to give you the answer. I’m Stephanie - a foodie with a dream. So I’ve come to Ballymaloe, a cooking school, nestled in a one hundred acre organic farm on the south coast of Ireland to learn how to turn my passion into my profession. Tune in to From Stephanie to Chefanie, where once a week I will share highs and lows of learning new culinary skills,and I'll lift the lid on what it's like being taught at an internationally renowned school - that has a very different way of doing things. It’s going to be messy - but it’s going to be delicious. Join me on my journey
