Stevenson Memorial Hospital (SMH) is celebrating the achievements of one of its staff members.
Ella Crawford, a Food Services Dietary Aide, placed first in a Skills Ontario culinary competition earlier this year, competing against students from across Simcoe County.
Ella is a senior at Banting Memorial High School.
“Ella has worked so hard and we are so proud of her achievements,” said Heather Hillis, manager of food and environmental services at SMH. “She has brought her talents to Stevenson as both a co-op student and staff member, and we will be cheering her on as she competes at the next level.”
During the competition, Ella was provided with a recipe and was judged on her precision cuts. She made pizza from scratch as her entrée and chocolate almond biscotti for desert.
Ella went on to compete a the qualifying competition at Georgian College on April 13, which will determine which competitors will move on to the provincial-level competition.
Ella has been practicing under the mentorship of Keith Park, lead chef at SMH.
