Member of the Month - Kevin Kindland

The Staff Canteen

By Sara Williams

Here at The Staff Canteen we felt it would be a great idea to show our appreciation to our loyal users, so to honour this we will be featuring a different member every month who we think deserves to be celebrated. This month’s winner is Kevin Kindland, a member who regularly contributes to our page.   Place of work? I work as a freelance chef and do home demonstrations for thermomix. My role varies from working for someone at home to outside catering events and I have been doing this role for the past two years.

What do you like most about being a chef and is it what you have always wanted to do? The best thing about being a chef is the ability to make people happy. I like that you can take something simple and turn it into something amazing. I have only ever wanted to be a chef and it’s definitely the best job you can have! What is your favourite food dish to eat and cook? I love to cook and eat pork but I like to use all parts of the pig. My favourite dish to cook is slow cooked pig cheek.

What do you like about The Staff Canteen website? The Staff Canteen website is a great place to learn and see what other chefs are doing. The website is a great source of information and a place to share all recipes, pictures and thoughts.
