As the chef of Cultural Cookery, a committee organized by the University College Student Association board, I curated a diverse menu with dishes from around the world. I trained volunteer kitchen staff on each recipe, ensuring they were well-prepared to serve at our pop-up restaurant, which operated for three weeks during the summer of 2023. This role allowed me to develop skills in menu planning, team coordination, and cultural culinary education.
