“I love seeing the joy my food brings”
Anna Sudak, Head Chef at Montford Manor care home
“When I first came to England from Poland, I worked as a carer for ten years before retraining as a chef. Years later, when I was working at a hotel, the opportunity came up to apply for the Head Chef position at the care home and I just knew I wanted it. I loved caring for people, I loved cooking, and now I get to do both.
“We get to serve the food ourselves and it makes my day to see how happy the residents are with the meal. Last summer I was like let’s get a barbecue, and when we had our first party in the garden, seeing the residents sat with a glass of wine, it was priceless.”
