Sherla Mitsi Mathurin
Mathurin was just 19 years old when she was chosen by the Seychelles Hotel and Tourism School to receive further training at the prestigious Le Recif Hotel. It would be the first step on a path that would lead her all the way to the Royal Palace in Bahrain.
"It was an incredible and exciting experience," recalls Matherin. In addition to preparing her Highness's favourite Creole dishes, Mathurin also enhanced her expertise in Lebanese and Asian cuisine.
Upon returning to the Seychelles in 2008, Mathurin joined the pre-opening team of Four Seasons Resort Seychelles's Creole restaurant. One of her many responsibilities includes supervising the restaurant's popular Creole cooking classes.
As for the future, she'd like to travel again but for now loves being part of the ZEZ "family" and helping newcomers from hotel schools to settle into the rigorous lifestyle of a professional kitchen. "I tell them it's all about working as a team and always doing the best you can."
