Jakita Parrot

Chef Parrott starting cooking with her grandmother in Florence at the age of five, and what started as a way of bonding with her grandmother became a passion. She’s cooked ever since, but began cooking professionally at the age of 17, and has been working in the hospitality industry in Florence for 27 years. She’s most proud of the cooking she’s done in the year she’s been with Seminar, which she says has given her the opportunity to explore her love of the culinary arts in fresh and creative ways.
