Manage episode 313739338 series 3284531
At the age of 12, Lenka saw Jamie Oliver’s cooking show and made it her mission to become a chef and travel the world, but, growing up in Slovakia, she didn’t have access to the top cooking schools or network of restaurants that many expensive culinary programs provide—but that didn’t stop Lenka from moving to the Czech Republic at the age of 18, determined to develop her skills as a chef, and then working in Copenhagen for 9 years followed by talking her way into an internship at a Michelin-star restaurant in Tokyo and getting a visa to work in Japan. Lenka will be the first to tell you that being a chef and working in the restaurant industry is HARD work, early mornings, late nights, and often very high stress, but if are in love with food and making people happy through your culinary creations, as Lenka is, then there is no limit to where food can take you around the world! Join us for a delicious journey of becoming a chef—from Slovakia all the way to Tokyo!
