Paolo Marinosci’s culinary career started at the age of 13. He studied for five years at a culinary school in Italy and in his spare time he gained experience by working in casual style restaurants in his region. He will be taking part in the Graduate Award’s final later this week and we wanted to catch up with him ahead of the exam to learn more about his career. “The semi-finals have been a great experience. The preparation time helped me improve my skills and knowledge, mostly with the pastry side of it, as I never worked as a pastry chef. The semi-final itself was challenging, as I had to be as quick and organised as I could, in an unfamiliar kitchen. Also, it made me realise all my weaknesses and strengths and ways to improve them.” You can read the interview by heading to our latest news on our website >> https://lnkd.in/eGTgfdNQ
