Reviews
The accumulation of our experiences makes us who we are. Some experiences just happen to us, some we create for ourselves. It is in finding the meaning and the lessons in these experiences that we can gain insight, perspective, and decide how to move forward. Right now, I am all about opening myself to amazing experiences and taking the steps I can to seek out opportunities and adventures. The Folded Apron is my outlet to share where I go, what I do, who I meet, food I taste, and interesting products I try.
My hope is that my experiences and my takeaways inspire you to seek out and create experiences that bring you pleasure and help you grow to be the best version of you.
The Joy Of The Experience
The joy of the first bite of the signature dish at a new restaurant, discovering a spice you have never tried from a faraway land, trying out a cutting-edge cooking tool that will forever change the way you work in your kitchen, uncovering a little-known speakeasy that has been hiding right under your nose; these are the kinds of experiences that bring me joy, enhance my life, and that I am dying to share with you!
The Folded Apron Experiences and Reviews Section is all about the secret gems I find, my pursuit of the kind of life I know I deserve, the cool products and ingredients no one ever told me about, and more. It is about the vast array of experiences I have already had as a professional pastry chef, a hospitality professional, a chartered professional accountant, and a woman of a certain age (don’t ask, don’t tell!). It is also about the experiences I long to have and the people I meet along the way. Our experiences, both good and bad, define who we are. This is who I am (personally and professionally) and what is important to me.

Experiences & Reviews FAQs
Auditioning for The Great Canadian Bake Show is on my short list. Stay tuned to follow my journey!
I developed a very severe seafood and shellfish allergy while working in the kitchen. It got increasingly difficult for me to avoid contact while in the workplace.
I initially enrolled in a hotel and restaurant management diploma program at my local community college, with the goal of opening up my own pastry shoppe. The accounting concepts made sense to me so I kept going with it, progressing through university and the professional accounting program. More than ten years later, here I am, back at my roots, but incorporating all that I have learned along the way.
