Do you relate with my humble experience?♡ What would be your advice for those willing to become a chef? 📝
My advice is work hard, be patient, be kind, believe in yourself and never give up💜
Be 100% Yourself, bake with your HEART 💜, BE TRUE TO YOURSELF; co-create & collaborate with others with compassion without competing. Bake with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE 💗 & that’s how you will contribute to creating PEACE & LOVE on this AMAZING PLANET 🌎 💙🌹💙.

I love to work in england 😍 one day InshaAllah
I really had an amazing time there☺️ InshaAllah!
Wow
☺️thank you!🙏🏻
Hi Kris, so did you not go to
Culinary school? I do not work In the culinary field but I do love baking and I am thinking Of going to get a degree in baking and pastries, do you think it’s worth it?
Hello Natalie, thanks for your comment! I did go to the culinary school where I did pastry course. :)
there are so many things you learn yourself and if you are lucky to get a job without experience the practice is the best school! I started to work voluntary and then decided to learn officially, no regrets.
I don't want to influence your decision but if I was ok with my finances I would do it. :))
All the best and happy baking!☺️
Hi.chef is there demand for pastry chef in uk..
Hello, as far as I heard before leaving the UK - yes.
How long it will take to become pastry chef?
Hey Sabbir! That’s interesting question but sorry to say there is no timeframe for that, depends a lot on you! You can be a good chef in couple of years or in 10, are you the ‘pastry’ graduate?:)
hi Kris you are so talented. 👏👏👏👏im living in london and i go to school for pastry course , but not enough for me . Do you recommend pastry courses in London Please. because i want to be a pastry chef 🌸
Hi Nazan! Thank you dearly!☺️
Do you work? If not work will give you many many answers! When I started working everything started to make more sense :)
@@KrisKazlauskaite Hi Kris thank for replying ☺️.i dont work any place and my age is 58 🙂 i think any working place they might need a young person. Even my husband keep telling me that im not young to be a pastry chef 😔 so i don’t know what do . but since i was 16 until now i really like to do pastry and become a chef. Kris can you give me any advance, what do i have to do please. Do you think am i late to become a pastry chef at this age . but i cant stop my self 😊i keep going to school to learn more about the pastry.☺️
@@nazanbayrak7197 i don’t understand why we would even consider that age is the limit! Of course the earlier the better but i wish we all knew what we are supposed to do since we are children. I had completely different impression what I wanted to do in life, but thankfully curiosity won and I am here doing pastries and stuff! It’s a different way to express yourself! I would say just go for it, you will regret otherwise ☺️ what can be worse than thinking ’what if i made this decision…’
🤍🤍🤍
@@KrisKazlauskaite Hi Kris you’re so nice and helpful.thank you so much you gave me very good advance 🙏🌸🌸🌸🌸
Mam please suggest best university for masters in bakery in UK 🇬🇧
i would say the best university would be work in a bakery, there you would learn A LOT!😊
I am from India and want to pursue Baker and pastry.Can you please advise from which university you did the same in London?
Hello dear! :) thank you for your comment! When it comes to schools I always advise to choose according to your budget and availability. What i mean is that if you manage to find a part time job and study that would be great. I did that and I think it was good to use knowledge in practice. But we are all different, best to choose what works for each person:) so for that reason I do not want to talk about specific schools. Most famous in London are Cordon Bleau, Westminister Kingsway college, Leith culinary school in my opinion:)
@@KrisKazlauskaite Thanks allot ☺️
I love that job and I want to learn it, can you help me learn it
thank you very much! ☺️I hope i help already by showing thing in my videos ☺️
wish you all the best 😍 so who are you gonna be ? A Baker ? or Pastry chef ?
Thank you, the same to you! :)
I call myself both pastry chef and a baker now, however, probably bakery is my current passion ☺️
awesome 😍
Dear Mam really I m enjoying. Your video s please give me same Idea to learn bakery items
Thank you so much!! Appreciate!☺️
Hi Kris you made very nice video your experience and your awards many pastries shop showed me now where your working are owne business doing okay your mind and hand and hard work support your life wish you all the best your carrier good night Kris india
Hello! so many beautiful words! thank you so much!!☺️😇 wish you all the same!
I am enjoying your informative videos.
Please keep on uploading.
Did you have to leave London because of Brexit? It sounds that you liked it a lot.
Any regrets?
Hello! Huge thank you! Appreciate your support so much!🙏🏻
Well the whole brexit definitely change many chefs life, i know personally who used this situation and came back to their home countries. To it was not the case, actually when i was about to leave the demand for chefs was so high, i could have gotten a really nice job. (I believe so at least).
I made my decision to leave in 2019, but because of the pandemic it slowed everything down.
I will ALWAYS remember London with so much love and warm emotions, yes, I feel sensitive thinking about the whole experience there but I brought my passion and enthusiasm with me to Madrid so I hope to create happiness wherever I am based ☺️ sorry for such a long response just feel happy to talk about it. Have a wonderful day and see you soon!😊
Oh how I love sticky toffee ….
It was really addictive! 😮💨😁

España??? Is that a hidden message? a hint? Well, nos vemos ahí!
Hi, it is not a hidden message, I am officially in Spain now 🇪🇸☺️ let the new adventure begin!☺️ nos vemos pronto!
Honey
☺️
And meantime, the English, some of them, of certain age and background voted Leave, Brexit, and now instead of lovely girl like You they have more illigal immigrant, unskilled and, well well, cannot say here or censored, and not EU legal hard working, beautiful and nice like You, well done.
Thanks very much! Every country has its own challenges, however my choice to move out has nothing to do with brexit :)
Regardless that, thank you so much for appreciating my work 😇
