Wow - I am just in awe of you! What an incredible experience. You’ve navigated each challenge with that signature zest for life, wisdom, enthusiasm and wicked smarts that you bring to everything you do! It’s been so much fun to read about your experiences, and just add writer to your list of talents. I’ve missed you and cannot wait to hear more in person. Until then, know that I’m so very proud of you and sending big hugs your way! Xox

P.S. I’m not betting on the results because we both know I’m not a good luck charm for the Ware family :)

Amy, congratulations on so many successes. Group C and all the other students were so fortunate to meet and know you. What a treat for them! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I learned so much! Your voice certainly comes through in your writing. You are to be toasted and celebrated for your achievement and am so happy the celebrating has already gotten underway at Le Tout Paris. Also, sleuthing should be added to your endless list of talents.

Thank you Chef Amy for taking us all on your LCB journey this first semester. We laughed, we cried and salivated over your culinary creations while reading your semiweekly posts and class narrations. Not only are you now a seasoned chef, but a talented scribe with the keen ability to keep us on the edge of our seats waiting for your next AmyinParis update and photo spread. Such a fun, amazing ride!

I have no doubt that you passed with flying colors. Am really proud of and encouraged by you, Amy. You dedicated three long, difficult, trying and at times, seemingly discouraging, months to pursue your passion. Despite being exhausted from your long days, you managed to keep your friends and family informed and truly entertained with your witty recounting of your weeks at LCB. Honored to have been included on this list of recipients and cannot wait to see you and hear more stories when you come home. Enjoy your last few days in Paris! Lord knows, you deserve it! xoxoxox

Amy, you are a gifted story teller and brilliant writer. Every post is filled with suspense as we long for the food you are planning or preparing or treating yourself to after class.

You approached your classes with humility and triumphed with dignity. The process you took to determine the final exam meal was brilliant. The toughest teaching chef can’t over come clever and humor.

You turned around the pressure with grace and ability. Your journey has been a joy and inspiration to read about. Thank you!
