Alumnus Vaibhav Vishen

Alumnus Vaibhav Vishen originally comes from a computer science background, an environment that most of us assume to be very different from being in a kitchen. He believes that his approach towards problem-solving, kitchen management and recipe development has been influenced greatly by his past experiences and refined education from Le Cordon Bleu New Zealand.
