“Patience, perseverance and self-confidence”. Chef Vicki adds that there are no set hours when you are doing what you love.

“I want to be a teacher who is able to make students think instead of just relying on a piece of paper with a recipe on it.”

"My goal is to be good in inspiring others to create in them the desire to prepare dishes they can call their own.”

“I have learned a lot of things because I always try. When you have new ideas, do not be scared of making mistakes. Just believe in yourself and do it.”

“The values I apply to crafting food are very strict. I always check the quality and the standards of preparing food are very high.”

“Organic food isn’t a trend anymore… it’s here to stay because it represents health, innovation and sustainability.”
