As we head closer to competition time for the San Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Competition, we check in with one of the ten contestants, Kogwoussougo Ouedraogo. Born in Burkina Faso, Kogwoussougo hated cooking until she stumbled upon an episode of Top Chef and realised she wanted to be a chef. She’s travelled the world learning, growing and developing her ambitions, and is now a chef for Melbourne River Cruises. We talk about taro, sharing culture, and the courage to pursue your dreams.
