Tune in to From Stephanie to Chefanie, where once a week I will share highs and lows of learning new culinary skills,and I'll lift the lid on what it's like being taught at an internationally renowned school - that has a very different way of doing things.It’s going to be messy - but it’s going to be delicious.
