Chef Boulud ’ s Lessons in Letters
Discipline , mentorship , creativity , teamwork , and loyalty are five of the “ Ten Commandments of a Chef ” that world-renowned , award-winning restaurateur and Chef Daniel Boulud discussed during our Seventh Grade Father / Son event on Wednesday , April 14 . For this annual tradition , our boys and their fathers or father figures gather for dinner to engage with an author who provides insightful , inspiring messages that resonate with the school ’ s mission . The evening celebrates the very special and vital connection between father , or any paternal influence and son at a pivotal moment as our boys prepare to enter their graduating year at Saint David ’ s .
Chef Boulud based his talk on his book Letters to a Young Chef , written to inspire young people interested in pursuing a culinary arts career . The letters advance universal advice on how to successfully pursue one ’ s passion and purpose . Most importantly , Chef Boulud encouraged our boys to be optimistic and strong when faced with life ’ s oppositions or challenges , and to “ believe in yourself and in the people who love and support you .” A perfect message that speaks to our school-wide theme of resilience in this challenging year .
Our school is grateful to Chef Boulud for sharing his wisdom , passion , and expertise with the Saint David ’ s community .
