This podcast episode delves into the transformative career change journey of a former orchestral manager who shifted her path to become a food educator and cookbook author. Following the loss of her parents and a realisation of unfulfillment in her job, Ceri found solace and passion in writing a recipe blog that led her to pursue culinary arts. The story covers her pivotal decisions that eventually lead her to writing a published cook book.Â
Ceri now enjoys a diverse career combining food education, content creation, and recipe writing. Emphasising the importance of discovering and pursuing one's passion, this interview offers insights into overcoming challenges and redefining personal and professional fulfillment.
Don't miss the closing question that encourages reflection on pursuing career changes without regrets.
Ceri's first cookbook ‘It Starts with Veg : 100 Seasonal Suppers and Sides‘ was published by Pavilion Books in June 2024.
She trained over 10 years ago as a ‘Natural Chef’ in Berkeley California and since then has been building her online platform as a recipe writer, honing her skills as a chef by cooking for over 70 yoga and wellbeing retreats around the world, and teaching hundreds of cookery classes to a wide range of communities.
For 3 days a week she is the sole Food Educator at the Garden Museum in London where you can find her leading cookery workshops for kids, families, community groups and the general public.
