About The Folded Apron

During my days plying my trade as a pastry chef in the controlled chaos of a commercial kitchen, my apron was my standard attire. At the end of a long shift, when I lifted my apron over my head and purposefully folded it away for the next day, it signalled that my workday was done. My time was once again my own, to pursue whatever I longed to do.

My first career was as a classically trained pastry chef. My days (and nights) were spent artfully creating spectacular and delicious confections at some of the most exclusive and luxurious restaurants, hotels, and resorts in Western Canada. My dream was to open my own pastry shoppe and peddle my wares to appreciative customers. Then I found a new pursuit, one that seemed to fit, one that ignited a new fire inside me… accounting. Even as my career seemed to swing in a completely different direction, I found a way to combine these two paths by exploring a hotel and restaurant management specialization in my role as a chartered professional accountant.

It is strange, this thing called life. Now, as I am opening myself up to pursue this new frontier of Food and Lifestyle writing, my folded apron might mean something else. Instead of putting my folded apron away to make my time my own, I now don my apron whenever I am ready to pursue the most enjoyable moments of my life.
