Our chefs spent a meaningful day at Luminary Bakery, working alongside an inspiring social enterprise dedicated to training, empowerment and opportunity.
Across the session, Vacherin chefs joined the Luminary team in their production kitchen, gaining insight into their processes, culture and the powerful mission behind their work.
The visit was part of a wider initiative in which 14 female chefs from Vacherin each spent a day at the bakery over a 10-day period, creating opportunities for reflection, skill-sharing and collaboration.
The experience highlighted the importance of visibility, mentorship and community within hospitality, particularly in supporting women across the industry.
Beyond the baking itself, the day focused on connection — learning from each other, exchanging ideas and recognising the shared values that exist across different kitchen environments.
It was a powerful reminder that hospitality is strongest when it is inclusive, collaborative and built on continuous learning.
