Why You Should Let Go of Your Obsession with Perfection – Food Network Challenge Winner Tracy DeWitt
In today’s episode, we speak with Tracy DeWitt, winner of the Food Network Challenge and an educator with nearly 30 years of experience teaching and mentoring aspiring chefs.
Chef Tracy believes that nurturing passion and preparation is more important than focusing on perfection. Taking this approach led her to win two gold medals and one silver medal on the Food Network Challenge. It’s no surprise that her life catchphrase is “sugar happens.” Today, as a Pastry Arts Chef Instructor at Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, Tracy supports her students in an inclusive learning environment where all voices are heard, and all learning styles are welcomed.
Listen as Tracy talks about the drama behind cooking competitions, supporting students to reach their goal, and how to not let “perfection” stop progress.
