Michael Kennedy
Certificate in Cooking and Culinary Arts
Chef de Partie, Wharekauhau Lodge
Guests pay up to $3,000 for a weekend at Wharekauhau, WelTec cookery graduate Michael Kennedy lives in this luxurious environment and works as a Chef de Partie. He loves everything about it.
“I love the atmosphere, working with the food, the pressure, the other staff,” says Michael.
“The lifestyle is good. We’re right on the coast. We can enjoy the beach and use the quad bikes if the guests aren’t using them. The staff quarters are great and I can easily go back home to Wellington when I’m not working.”
Michael, who won the prestigious title of Outstanding Chef Newcomer at the 2006 New Zealand Culinary Fare is no stranger to competitions. As a hospitality student at WelTec he was encouraged to compete in competitions while studying. “The tutors give us all the groundwork – the hygiene, the ways of working, and they help with the dish concepts,” says Michael.
“From the start of secondary school I always liked cooking and thought I would get into it. WelTec is close (to where I live) and one of the best places to go to in Wellington.”
While Michael would like to eventually get experience overseas, made easier as his qualifications are recognised by City and Guilds, he expects he will end up back in New Zealand.
“I like the atmosphere, the produce – what is available and grown here gets better every year.
“I think I made the right career decision. I don’t see it changing any time soon,” says Michael.
Our training restaurant, Bistro 107, is open throughout the academic year to the public for lunches and dinners. Our food and beverage and cookery and culinary arts students run the restaurant as part of their study. This ensures that they receive real experience working in an industry environment. The restaurant is fully licensed and offers competitive prices.
