\u201cI\u2019m pleased this award recognises the world-class teaching talent we have here at Federation TAFE,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Saville works at two-hatted Daylesford Japanese restaurant Kadota but began her apprenticeship at Beppe Kitchen and Bar. She said she couldn\u2019t believe she\u2019d won a Golden Plate award.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really happy to be able to use all the knowledge everyone has taught me along the way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to continue cheffing in future. This award will give me a real boost of credibility. If I decide to start my own business, I\u2019ll have this under my own belt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another commercial cookery apprentice Peter Dawson, who works at The Shared Table in Buninyong, was highly commended in the same Golden Plate Awards\u2019 Apprentice of the Year category.<\/p>\n
Teacher to both Saville and Dawson, Murray Lewis, said both young chefs are hardworking.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir attention to detail is excellent,\u201d he said. \u201cAlexis is working in a two-hatted restaurant which is just top notch and very demanding and she does well under pressure.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had the pleasure of teaching Peter during his VETIS times, and again during his third year. He is a diligent and talented cook who works hard and shows maturity beyond his years.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo have two out of that same commercial cookery cohort be nominated, and then to have them place first and second, is such a good result. Federation TAFE continues to attract high quality students.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
