https://business.inquirer.net/386200/40-years-of-service-as-chef-par-excellence
It’s one thing to break into the scene, to be the celebrated chef of the moment. It’s another thing to stay in the game for over a year. Or for over 10 years. And it’s epic to be at the top of your game for 40 years!
A rare few have achieved this. One of the rare few is Chef Jessie Sincioco, who is still the most in demand chef for fine dining and fine catering today.
Last Feb. 8, Chef Jessie Rockwell celebrated the restaurant’s 18th anniversary. What started out as Le Souffle in 2005 later matured to become Chef Jessie and has kept customers coming back, with generation after generation loving and building a relationship with the restaurant.
While talking to her about what it takes to stay a celebrated chef not just for years but for decades, she realized that in fact, she is celebrating more than 18 years of Chef Jessie Rockwell because this year, she also celebrates 40 years as a pastry chef!
It was in 1983 when she won the Great Maya Cookfest by cooking a mango cake using a recipe of her Auntie Lita. She continues to serve this cake to this day, calling it “My Tita’s Special Treat.”
She rose from the ranks, starting out as a trainee at the Intercon before establishing herself as the first female Filipino pastry chef in the industry in 1990.
The following year, she joined former Intercon head chefs to put up the hugely popular Le Souffle in Greenbelt. And in 2005, Le Souffle Rockwell was born, which became Chef Jessie in 2009.
