The Pilot Light

8/10 chefs struggle with their mental health throughout their career but only 54% felt comfortable speaking to a colleague about it. Mainstream media has made a joke of the profession and normalised bullying in the workplace making it so much harder for people to speak up. I chose to use the Pilot Light Campaign (an organisation set up to support hospitality professionals) as a platform to encourage chefs to access the support they need. To help solve this problem I created Mental Mise En Place, a book full of recipes and stories of inspiration from Chef's across the UK disguised as a regular cook book to make that first step a little less daunting.
