Voice it - Sophie Whitehead " Cooking for the Queen Mother"

July 25, 2023 • Season 3 • Episode 28

This is a delightful story about Sophie Whitehead which I played on the Clare Valley Podcast a few months ago and I loved it so much I wanted to share it with my Voice it listeners.

Sophie Whitehead's first job job out of college was cooking for royalty.

In this episode, you'll hear how she came to be cooking for the Queen Mother, and the experiences she had with not just her, but many members of the Royal family, eg. dancing with Prince Charles at Balmoral Castle. WOW!!

But the career development didn't end there, Sophie ended up here in Australia cooking for the rich and famous on super yachts and in Sydney north shore mansions.

She’s left the rich and famous behind and has moved to the Clare Valley with her husband David. While caravanning around Australia, they came across the Curly Goose in Sevenhill, bought it and transformed it into a gin space.

Enjoy Sophie's journey!
