Raise Funds for the Open Hiring Policy Bakery Idea:

Your generous donation will fund attendance at:

Le Cheval Blanc Vegan Cookery School's Advanced Vegan Cookery Course. 

For over 12 years, I have carried a vision to build bakeries around the world that employ people who have been formerly prostituted, formerly homeless, or formerly incarcerated.

As a United Nations Geneva trained chef with a hospitality diploma from the Institut Hôtelier César Ritz, I have strong professional confidence in an omnivore kitchen. However, I recognise that mastering plant based cookery requires further dedicated training.

My goal is to perfect the art of vegan cookery, and this advanced course represents a vital step toward that ambition.

Through hands on work with juvenile offenders in the Philippines and visits to men’s prisons in India, Ghana, Trinidad, and St Vincent and the Grenadines, I have witnessed first hand the transformative power of dignified employment.

What I seek to create is more than work. It is what I call a second chance.

The costs are as follows:

• €900 course fee
• €450 accommodation
• £250 public transport between London and Caussade, France

Following this course, I will also participate in the Vegan French Patisserie course beginning on 1 June 2026, at a cost of €975.

This will additionally require:

• €450 for accommodation, and 
• £250 for transportation.
