Today is graduation day! We are finally finished with culinary school, and soon off to start our careers. I can’t wait for my tall chef’s hat!
We have prepped for our dinner buffet that will be before the diploma ceremony. An extensive menu of vegetables, pork, fish and crustaceans will be served, as well as dessert… all recipes created by us 
As you know I will be working at La Gazza Ladra in Modica (RG) in Sicily. I start June 22. I’ve spoken to the head chef, Accursio Craparo, and he is happy to have me work there for throughout the summer. His food is meticulously made. He creates art out of food like I’ve never seen before. I know I will learn a lot from him: skill, technique, patience, and speed. He seems like a great teacher.
When I come back to New York I hope to work in either in the city or around my home in Westchester for an Italian restaurant that also serves a brunch menu. I want to work and learn as much as possible, this way I can, one day, have my own restaurant, and possibly a bed & breakfast.
Congrats. wish you all the best with your upcoming career. i also have a dream of studying pastry at the FCI, hope soon it’ll become a project. im glad im reading your FCI diary. its very rich. good luck
