Trizanne Kodi - Jackie Cameron School of Food and Wine

“I have been astonished – and thrilled - by the number of chefs and restaurateurs who have recommended Jackie Cameron School of Food & Wine to potential students. It’s heartwarming to know the recognition we are receiving. Up next is Trizanne Kodi, sent by Ryan Ringo a good friend of the hospitality industry. ”

— Jackie Cameron

Trizanne worked many months for Ryan and, with this experience, she came to the school on the right foot - understanding the long hours and the pressure. She waited a year before enrolling at a school. Her reasoning being that she needed to reassure herself that, although she loved cooking at home, could she do this every day in an industrial kitchen. So well thought out.

Trizanne’s mom has worked in a professional kitchen, so this adds to her understanding of the industry and sets her in a good position for what is to come. “Ever since I was a little girl I've stood, side by side, with my mum in the kitchen,” Trizanne says. “Before coming to chef school, she taught me all I know about food. I’m sharing her celery soup recipe, passed down to me and, whenever we've had guests, we have served it. I hope, with winter coming up, this recipe will be made, shared and enjoyed by your family and friends.”

This dish intrigued me because, of all available vegetables, fresh celery is one I really don’t enjoy. Trizanne’s soup, however, is the best version of celery I have ever tasted. I suggest you try it.
