Today I was inducted into Les Dames d'Escoffier Dallas chapter. I was a recipient of their scholarship a few years ago for Pastry arts. Thanks to them, I completed my associates and today was like a dream come true to join this amazing group of hard working women. I know I have to thank Chef Jennifer Bajsel, my friend and my dear sweet mentor Chef Brown. It was a bittersweet moment for me as I felt her absence bitterly today. I wish the world could have had more time with her. I feel like there was so much more we all could have learned from her. God willing (inshallah), I hope to see her kids and continue her legacy. Thank you to all the chefs and hospitality folk who have supported me and guided me along the way. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Never give up on your dreams.

Eleven and a half years ago, I stepped into a pastry kitchen and met Chef Michele Brown. The next four years, I took every class I could with her and volunteered for every event she asked help on. She led with dedication, commitment and definitely with a kind heart. She was one of the few people in my life to show me what I was truly capable of. She encouraged me, supported me, and unknowingly changed my life.

My prayers are with her and with her family. May God give you strength.

We will miss you Chef Michele E Brown. Hope to see you on the other side. ❤❤❤

We had a wonderful time learning from . We made chicken pho, summer rolls, dipping sauce and chicken meatballs. The pace of the class was good, a little intense as lots to do but at the end of it all, we had a delicious and visually stunning meal. We are looking forward to taking some more classes.
