Bridget The Internet Chef
Having more than one million subscribers across the social media platforms (Youtube, Website, Instagram), Bridget Davis is an internet sensation which her amazing culinary prowess is well known extending far beyond the boundaries her continent. After years of experience working in commercial kitchens, she has been online for 6 years to share with you all the tricks and trades to help you cook better, faster and healthier using video and recipes as a method.
Bridget is one of the few who knows what she wants to do for
the rest of her life. Being a food obsessed since a very young age, she could
think about cooking every day and read recipes book like a story book. In fact,
travelling far away just for the food she loves is a nature for her.
Starting a career at the age of 14 as a waitress in the
family-run business, this oyster lover continued to sharpen her cooking skills
by enrolling in a chef school for three years before being qualified at the age
of 21. The journey continued with all of her career life revolves around
food and only around food. She never had a job in her life that does not
involve food.
“After nearly 30 years, with a couple of experience of
working 42 days without a break and 100 hours a week for 5 years, your body can
only go for so long. Maybe I want to live now?” explained Bridget why she
decided to move into the internet business from her busy career life. She
describes her experience working in a kitchen is like working in a military
where discipline is highly required and she feels like going to war every
dining session. She also mentioned that the cooking reality show nowadays is
not realistic cause in the real life being a chef is not a glamorous job, at
least not the first 10-15 years of your career.
In her preparation in opening her first blog, she read
thousands of cook books, research materials online from credible sites and
cooks for many people, and she has been taking a great pleasure in sharing her
knowledge, experience and her beautiful recipes. “Learn as much as you can and
never stop learning,” she said. It is one of her main life principle.
She is in love with what she’s doing because she believes
that does not matter who you are, you will always have a voice online. “It is
really beautiful to be able to share her wisdom cause online there is no gate
keeper, stopping you from what you want to say.” As she believes that people
should not keep their skill for themselves.
After making hundreds of her own original recipes, she found
it hard to pick her favorite recipes. “It is difficult for me to choose one,
because it usually depends on my mood. Double Bake Chocolate Cake Gluten Free
it’s my current favorite. It is really easy to make and I got a lot positive
review about it,” says Bridget.
Being in the internet business has a quite different
lifestyle compare to working in conventional job. Bridget could see her
children growing up every as she spent most of her time now working from home.
Travel extensively, cooking class, wine and dine, and hang out with new people
are the perks of being an internet chef. However, a work commitment limits her
to have a physical human interaction apart from online interaction. She admits
that she missed hanging out with her cooking friends in the kitchen.
In the future, she planned to produce more than just an
online content, maybe a TV show so she can reach wider audience educating the
importance of health conscious food through her own cooking show. She always
forced herself to take out of her comfort zone and she is excited about
that.
