It is with mixed emotions that Thursday Life wishes Jamaica Observer Table Talk Food Awards winning caterer Trevanne Donegal bon voyage as she heads to the UK to further hone her culinary skills. Naturally we are delighted, but will miss her optimism and resolve to deliver at a high level every single time.

“I just wanted to say that the Jamaica Observer Table Talk Food Awards has been such a blessing and inspiration for up-and-coming chefs like myself,” said Donegal when she popped by. “Encouraging us to develop our skill and to strive for more; elevating the standard and quality of work that we present. It is with that drive and dedication to do more that I’m happy and proud to say that I am off to London to continue on my culinary journey at Le Cordon Bleu. I am very grateful for the many articles that you have printed in the Jamaica Observer that featured my work. It has been an invaluable contribution to my career. Thank you for giving culinary professionals an outlet to express the art of cooking…

I look forward to coming back to Jamaica with a more exposed and refined talent, sharpened knives and an increased passion for my craft.”

We, too, look forward, Trevanne, to sharing your progress with our readers, and to your return.
