I have interviewed a chef that works at Camp Beam. Her name is Duddana. She told me a little bit about the kitchen and how she uses tips to cook for nearly 100 people. She says, “Anything you love to do is not hard.”

Duddana has worked with some famous people like Gwen Stefani, Nine Inch Nails, Conway West, James Conn, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and Beastie Boys. She said that is was very demanding and a lot of pressure.

Duddana’s favorite food is Carribbean food because she is from there. She also loves all the flavors. Duddana favorite utensil to use is her blender. She loves it because it can mix different things together.

Duddana gets very tired after she cooks a lot of food, but she still loves what she does. She also loves giving people tips on how to cook. Duddana likes it when the campers thank her.
