#Fraisier cake I made as part of the trolley selection for #afternoontea @theritzlondon #alwayslearning #pastrychef #pastrycheflife

@ChefSamBennett @theritzlondon @Claire_Clark @Westking @ChefBird @mylegoman @PrettySweetLon @SueYeates Absolutely stunning Sam, I am so proud of you 🤩

@ChefSamBennett @ChefBird @lisajenkins02 @theritzlondon @Westking @jwilliamschef @lewispastrychef @Claire_Clark @SueYeates @AshChef_Spencer @Paul_Jervis @GaryHunterChef @ChefsAdoptaSch It was an absolute pleasure Sam, I loved every bake & every moment. I am so very proud of you and all you have achieved at such a young age. Congratulations and good luck at The Ritz, what an amazing place and opportunity for your first full time job 😊

@ChefBird @lisajenkins02 @theritzlondon @Westking @jwilliamschef @lewispastrychef @Claire_Clark @SueYeates @AshChef_Spencer @Paul_Jervis @GaryHunterChef @ChefsAdoptaSch You are absolutely right, I wouldn’t be where I am today without their help & support every step of the way. My Mum taught me so much & most importantly, we had so much fun baking together during my childhood, starting as soon as I could hold a spatula! Thank you @tinajbennett27

@ChefSamBennett @Westking @SueYeates @AshChef_Spencer @Paul_Jervis @wildfoodboy @simonstocker1 @culinary_clinic @TerryTintonChef @ChairmanCGC @GaryHunterChef That looks amazing Sam, well done.

Little did I know in January this would be one of my last exam dishes @Westking. My #Belgianwaffle with apple compote, spiced crumble, #Speculoos ice cream, spiced caramel & compressed #apple, created as the main dish for my Gastronomy exam. #alwayslearning #pastrychefintraining

Today should have been the start of my 3rd year Professional Chef Diploma exams @Westking. Thinking of my fellow students & our missed education, experiences & opportunities. Also our dedicated Chef Lecturers who couldn’t finish what they started with us in 2017 #alwayslearning

@ChefSamBennett @Westking @Paul_Jervis @SueYeates @AshChef_Spencer @wildfoodboy @simonstocker1 @culinary_clinic @TerryTintonChef @ChairmanCGC @GaryHunterChef This previously unimaginable, shocking ending yours & your fellow students education @Westking will not define nor ruin your future careers. It will make you stronger & more resilient. I have no doubt you would have excelled in your exams & am forever proud of you Sam #staystrong

This week we’ve made the first batch of @HotCrossBuns of the season @Westking. #alwayslearning #sweetdough #easterbaking #pastrychefintraining #pastrycheflife

@Rob_C_Allen @NordicWareUK @thebakingnanna1 @sweetiehour @pavlovaandcream That looks brilliant, that pan is going on my “I need it now” list!

It’s Beginning to look a lot like #Christmas with @NordicWareUK Chocolate #YuleLog with a little white chocolate in the swirls, to mimic cream and fondant holly and berries 😍 I couldn’t wait to try this #Bundt Pan.

@ChefSamBennett @thevincentrooms @Westking @SueYeates @Paul_Jervis @Claire_Clark @lewispastrychef @ChefBird @mylegoman @PrettySweetLon My new favourite dessert, thank you for introducing me to parfait Sam 😋It looks beautiful and delicious, great work.

@ChefSamBennett @thevincentrooms @Westking I managed to procure a spoonful of this from your Dad when we came to lunch and it was absolutely delicious Sam 😋They are classics for a reason.

It’s great to be back @Westking this week as a third year #PastryChef. This is my first attempt at making #mouldedchocolates & I’m looking forward to mastering this skill. #alwayslearning #pastrychefintraining #pastrychef #pastrycheflife

@ChefSamBennett @Westking @lewispastrychef @SueYeates @Paul_Jervis @ChefBird @mylegoman @Claire_Clark @AshChef_Spencer @PrettySweetLon @CClarkAcademy I can confirm they tasted delicious too 😋Well done Sam, great work and I’m loving seeing you learning new things and making the most of every opportunity that comes your way. Keep working hard and enjoy and savour every moment of your third year. I’m very proud of you.

#WildStrawberries, #Verbena & #Lemon dessert by @lewispastrychef @theritzlondon. Thoroughly enjoyed myself being back with Lewis & his team for a few more days #workexperience this week #alwayslearning #theritzlondon #pastrychefintraning

Delighted to have been accepted into the Third Year Professional Chefs Diploma - Patisserie & Confectionary @Westking. #pastrychefintraining #pastrychef #pastrycheflife

Galantine of #Quail with Westminster chutney, #microsalad & a Quail jus. One of the #starters I made for #Escoffier restaurant @thevincentrooms during my Larder rotation @Westking, under the supervision of @NormanFu #cheflife #chefinthemaking #culinarystudent

@NordicWare @NordicWareUK @NordicWareScand @NordicWareEs @NordicWareFr This looks beautiful in the Blossom pan. It’s great to see a recipe using Blackberries, usually it’s all about the Blueberries! Blackberries have so much more flavour so I’ll be trying a non-gluten free version of this cake. Thanks Nordicware.
