There is a genuine shortage of Caribbean Chefs. Many restaurants are constantly on the lookout for new chefs, who can relieve overworked chefs presently in post, or who can take over kitchens in new establishments. If you are a good cook, enjoy working in kitchens, contact us. If you are an expert in Caribbean cooking let us know. Even if you are not, but are keen to learn, then why not take a course. There are a few courses about which teach you what a Caribbean Grandmother would have taught you in the past. There are not enough courses out there though. If you hear of any more, please send us details. Morley College Course There is a course in Caribbean Cookery, running at Morley College, South London. The course is taught by Josie Dale on Tuesday nights. Josie has been running the course for 18 months. She trained as a chef, and worked in the food industry for 8 years. The course runs for 3 terms of 10 weeks each. There is quite a bit that can be taught in thirty weeks. The facilities are great, with a large kitchen, and a mirror overhead for easy viewing of demonstrations. The course is always full, but there is a waiting list, so if you know anyone who might be interested, call Morley College and have them place your name on the list. They might be persuaded to run the course on another night also. There is a mixed take up of people on the course. Chinese, African, English, have been seen among the students, but most students are of Caribbean origin. A number of British born black young men have been interested, if they have not been taught how to cook Caribbean dishes when they were growing up. Westminster Kingsway College Westminster Kingsway College has a strong Food department, which is starting an NVQ in Caribbean Cuisine in September 2003. The contact there for more information is Peter Richards. Birmingham College of Food Birmingham College of Food is also planning to run an NVQ Course in Caribbean Cuisine. The contact there is Beverley McMann.
