Alumni Feature: Tara Blasman | Bread Baker | Fogo Island Inn | SCS Class of 2015

September 4, 2019

I grew up in Kitchener, Ontario and from a young age I found an ease for travelling and cooking. I remember watching my brother and his friends come home after a busy shift in the kitchen and just rave with passion, it ignited my interest and drive. From there it was game on. I’m where I belong.
