Tandra's Story
Not too soon after graduating with you all I didn't waste any time getting married to my husband James... the next big event in my life was the birth of our son Andru. I spent some time trying to decide if I wanted to continue working in a restaurant kitchen or going to university to be an interior designer. It took me some time to realize that I wanted to be a chef. Our family moved to Paris, France and while living there I started my formal culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu. Soon after completing my pastry apprenticeships in Paris we moved to Lisbon,...Expand for more
Portugal and lived there for the next 8 years. Upon our return to the US in 2007 we decided to move back to Little Rock. I joined the culinary team at the Capital Hotel and worked as the Executive Pastry Chef there for 6 years.
In 2013 I moved to Miami, FL to work for Chef José Andrés at The BAZAAR on South Beach as the Pastry Chef. And that is where I am today... todo es bueno!
I really love what I do and relish every moment that I have with my family these days, which includes my first grandchild coming February 2016... Life is good! :)
