My students know me as 鈥淐hef Beere鈥�, I鈥檓 a member of the Society for Education and Training (SET) and a chef lecturer specialising in patisserie, kitchen skills, and classic larder work. I teach on our Professional Chef courses (Levels 2 and 3), as well as our patisserie and bakery courses as required.
I bring over 34 years of industry experience as a pastry chef in hotels, gastropubs, Michelin鈥憇tarred restaurants, and through running my own patisserie company. My vast experience means I know the industry very well - both its pros and cons - and I share my honest insights with students.
I make a point of staying up-to-date with modern trends and techniques and build these into my teaching for my students鈥� benefit.
I鈥檓 most inspired by teaching skills that my students will hopefully use for the rest of their lives.
