Antigua St John's - For 20 years, Lydia George has been honing her cooking skills at Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa. George began her career in the culinary field as a cook, and was recently promoted to Senior Chef de Partie.

When asked about what the promotion meant to her, George said, “I am very proud and honoured, and I am going to do my best to set an example for the young chefs so that they understand the importance of hard work and dedication.”

George is admired and highly respected by her colleagues, who say she is the heart of their kitchen. Their sentiments were echoed by General Manager Gerald Christ, who said,

“Lydia is such a joy to be around, and she has a phenomenal work ethic that inspires other team members. Leaders like her are hard to find, so we must acknowledge their accomplishments and celebrate their successes.”

The cooking skills of George have been noticed by Emmy Award winning Celebrity Chef Walter Staib who recently visited Antigua to scout for locations for his TV show, “A Taste of History”.
