Lindsay began her career in hospitality as a waitress during high school. After finishing school, she moved to Byron Bay to start working in her parent’s restaurant as a line cook. It was then that she discovered her passion for cooking and decided to begin her apprenticeship.
Half way through Lindsay’s apprenticeship, she decided she wanted more, and was eager to learn the world of fine dining. She moved to Sydney to seek bigger opportunities which led her to working under some of the biggest chefs Australia has to offer. She completed her apprenticeship under Neil Perry at Rockpool Bar & Grill. And then went on to run the pastry kitchens at Quay and Bentley just to name a few.
After living in Sydney for four years, Lindsay wanted to travel the world and experience working in another country and learning new skills that were different to home. She moved to Canada, where over the period of two years, worked in both Montreal and Vancouver. After Canada, Lindsay spent months travelling and experiencing the local cuisine of many different countries.
Lindsay has a great passion for cooking, but it is her artistic flair that drives her in the pastry kitchen.
