Summer Camp Chef Instructors
Faraday's Kitchen Store employs several chef camp instructors for Summer Chef Camp, all of whom have a great deal of experience in children's culinary instruction, etiquette, nutrition and food safety. We have 2 chef instructors working with us this year, Chef Larson Washington and Chef Jessie Kelly (see profiles below).
Chef Larson Washington will be our lead chef instructor for Summer 2011 Chef Camp. His passion for cooking began as a child spending time in the kitchen with his grandmother. From then on he knew his calling was to become a chef who creates extravagant meals.
Born in Texas, he moved to Washington State where he attended high school, culinary arts school and college, returning to Texas in 2007 after having worked in the restaurant industry for eight years. He is currently fulfilling his other dream of teaching, as a 6th grade social studies teacher in Austin, Texas in the Manor Independent School District, and will receive his M.Ed in September. He also coaches football, basketball, track, and soccer.
As a teacher, he provides his students with a rigorous education by promoting literacy, social skills and independent thinking in an exciting and spirited classroom. As a coach, he motivates his athletes while maintaining a disciplined, organized, team-spirited culture. Chef Larson will bring this same team culture and sense of fun to Faraday’s Summer camp.
The second Chef supporting our 2011 kids camp is Chef Jessie Kelly. She was born and raised in Rockport, Texas and moved to Austin in 1990. Chef Kelly loved cooking at a very young age and comes from a long line of fabulous cooks.
In 2006 Chef Kelly left her 10 year career in semiconductors behind me and enrolled at Texas Culinary Academy in the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Program. She graduated in 2008 with High Honors and began working for Patricia's Lunchbox providing nutritious school lunches for Redeemer Lutheran School in Austin. Chef Kelly also worked for Redeemer Summer Camp for 2 years and was instrumental in creating a cooking class for the campers. She worked for Redeemer for 4 years until February of this year when she was offered an opportunity to begin a new lunch program at Hyde Park Baptist High School in central Austin.
Chef Kelly loves working with children, educating them about healthy food and cooking techniques and overall food knowledge. Chef Kelly is planning to eventually further her education to become a chef instructor in a culinary school specializing in bulk catering.
