British, English, Mancunian, Chef/Foodie Knowledge, Traveller

I am an experienced Chef-Lecturer(20 years) and Radio Presenter (7 years)so have been used to giving smooth professional presentations in the classroom as well as more dynamic entertaining ones at Foodie events and workshops. I present my own regular "Music Explorer Show" for my local community Radio Station Radio Ellemnbrook 88fm, in which I weave a story throughout the program on how Music has changed throughout the years from 1962-2012, keeping it entertaining with a variety of anecdotes and spotlights on Artists. In addition , I read brief commercial sponsored adverts for them(usually getting it right in the 1st recording!) and have created a series on Information palettes on Food items (as a Chef). I have also just started to present my 'A-Z of the World' on my weekly radio show profiling every country in the world with a recipe. I am also a self published Author of ' A Taste of the World' cookery/Travel book as an experienced Chef and Traveller. I read true stories from my book at promotional events. 1. Associate Diploma in Training and Development. 2. City & Guilds Qualified Chef 3. Diploma in Freelance Travel Writing 4. Completed Several Training courses in Radio Presenting and Public Speaking. i now have an Audio-technica microphone with USB and Audacity recording software It is important to note that I am a professional and whatever I do has to be completed in a professional manner that has integrity. Overall besides my experience and love of being a Chef, Traveller, Writer and Teacher, my overriding attribute is as a communicator! I just love talking to people about life, culture, cuisine, music, philosophy and fun.
