“You were a credit to Westminster Kingsway College and the industry as a whole… You will be a valuable asset whatever path you decide to take.”Head Of Pastry in Westminster Kingsway College- Chef Holland

TAJ CORAL REEF RESORT (MALDIVES)-

“Her passion for food, espically Indian cuisine, her enthusiastic approach to learn more, has been an inspiration to other Interns and Chefs. I normally see a lot of young chefs, who refrain from working on a tandoor. Out here Veronique took the initiative, never backed out and was quite enthusiastic working on a red hot burning tandoor. Post her shift, I would always see her taking time out and making notes in her diary. I rarely see Interns doing this. Her focus has been absolutely spot on and I’m sure she will do extremely well in her career”Kenneth Rocha- Learning & Development Manager
