Who we are!
Hi there! We are Fran and Laura, the creators of @our_cookingjourney!
We both work in the hospitality and TV industries and have a passion for travelling and cooking. We wanted to start this website to share all our recipes and projects with you all!
Fran has a background in cooking having spent 8 years as a chef in Italy, Australia and London. He is now the Head Teacher Chef at Jamie Oliver's cookery school in North London after working for some of the top cookery schools in the city. In Australia, he founded a small Sardinian food place with three friends, but left to move back to Europe and learn more about cooking, teaching and other cuisines.
Laura is a History graduate with a love of travelling and the hospitality industry. She also worked in restaurants in London, Leeds, Brisbane and Melbourne and loved the event planning side of things. After helping Fran establish his business in Australia, she moved into marketing and social media for Gordon Ramsay Restaurants in London before heading up the marketing team for a brand new food TV channel. She now works as a Content Manager for Tastemade UK.
We now want to share all our learnings and passion with you all. We hope that by following our journey, you are able to learn a little bit about us and a little bit about food as well through our recipes and classes.
