Stephanie Lake
Growing up in the countryside Stephanie understood the importance of knowing where your food comes from. Often, the closer, the better. But it wasn't until she had done a stint working in London as a personal finance journalist that she knew she needed a change. Not only does she love eating good food, she loves cooking good food too. So she picked the best cookery school in the world, famous for its ingredient-first approach using produce from its own organic farm. She started 2025 at Ballymaloe in Ireland learning how to be a chef.

What does it take to become a chef? Great question, and over the next twelve weeks, I’m going to give you the answer.
I’m Stephanie – a foodie with a dream. So I’ve come to Ballymaloe, a cooking school, nestled in a one hundred acre organic farm on the south coast of Ireland to learn how to turn my passion into my profession.
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. Join me on my journey.
