Final Words… Les Dames
d’Escoffier Legacy Award 2010
Without further delay I wanted to do this as my final post on my Chicago trip… My first initial thought on hearing of this Legacy award is that it would be an opportunity of a lifetime… So I took that first step in applying for the award… It was incredible chance to meet and work with some of the most amazing women in the culinary field… in a city I’ve never been, Chicago. My biggest regret would be not to take a chance… So I sent in my application, resume, letters of reference, and essay stating what I would gain from this entire experience… As the deadline arrived… I couldn’t believe to my surprise receiving a call from Lila Gault informing me that I would be the lucky recipient of the Legacy award for 2010 in the Culinary field.
Each Dame that I met has shared experience, words of wisdom, support and kind words. I want to extend my deepest thanks to all the Les Dames members I met from the Chicago chapter. Your generosity will be forever in my heart…
I wish you all a wonderful and successful future… Thank you for joining me on my adventure to Chicago… Please leave comments and share your thoughts with me…
Cheers
Melly
