female Women-owned

I'm Bec, a chef from NZ but I have called Australia home for more than 20 years. I have been professionally cooking for over 25 years, I completed my City & Guilds Diploma Of Culinary Arts in 1999. I've travelled ALL around Australia in a 1974 Kombi Van for over 8.5 years, working as a chef and fixing the car in my time off! While in Broome W.A I started designing chef uniforms and grew the business for the last 10 years while cheffing on the side until I opened my shop - Ready2Rock Hospitality Store.
I'm passionate about cooking and love teaching people the skills I learnt as a chef. I have cooked in many high-end establishments and I want to help you improve your home cooking by teaching you the basics & fundamentals of cookery that then advances your cooking of anything at home! Now that I have the hospitality store, I have a great set-up to share my craft and teach others.
