Meet Jenny Jones - Personal Chef

Liaison College offers Canada's only Personal Chef Diploma program. Personal Chef's are a growing segment of the foodservice industry and are not only for the rich and famous. Recently written up in the Hamilton Spectator, here's what Jenny Jones had to say about her career in a recent interview:

1. When did you know you wanted to be a chef?

I have always enjoyed cooking, even as a child, but restaurant hours are not for me, so when I heard about Personal Chefs doing Meal plans during the day I thought it was great. Even Dinner parties aren't too late for this early to bed - early to rise type of person.

2. Who was your inspiration?

My Mother was a great inspiration. She was always collecting new recipes and trying them out on her family. I do the same. Early on I was inspired by Martha Stewart and Nigella Lawson, too.

3. What is your most memorable kitchen moment?

Whenever someone tells me they enjoyed the meal I have cooked for them.

4. What is your favourite recipe? Why?

5. What is your most forgettable moment or disaster?

Whenever I forget an ingredient to a client's home, but when I figure out how to rescue the recipe without it, it turns into a positive experience.

6. Have you any words of wisdom to a future chef?

Go with your passion and find your spot in the industry.

7. How did Liaison College help you?

Liaison College gave me the knowledge to be a Personal Chef. The hints and tips that would have taken forever for me to find out on my own. As well as the background with food safety and sanitation.
