Chef Sonia Cuffy 2015 Chopped Canada Champion and Owner of Food Fusion
Born in St. Vincent & The Grenadines “Change your thoughts, change your world” “From adversity comes change. I somewhat accidentally fell into honing my passion during a very critical time in my life. A traumatic personal event set into motion a near rock-bottom period for me. Thus began a domino effect, and my whole world fell apart, one piece at a time. I got to the lowest point in my life but, thankfully, I got up! I have since learned that sometimes life throws you a curveball, and nothing can hit you harder than life itself, but, while you may not be responsible for bringing yourself down, you sure are responsible for getting up. MUST became the operative word for me - that's what I burned into my psyche, my whole thought pattern. I never gave up. I now confidently rise to life's challenges because, life just happens. I have since then transformed my life and during that process, I came to realize my mind is the most powerful tool I have and that change begins with YOU, but it only starts when you allow it to.” - Chef Sonia www.foodfusion.ca
