Eric is a flight purser and a talented baker. He shares his journey with us. How long have you been a baker and how did you decide to be one? I have been baking most of my life as soon as I could hold a wooden spoon…but seriously I got bitten by the baking gauge after home science in upper primary school and would experiment with my mum’s cooking pans, sand and a charcoal stove over the holidays. I ruined many a sufuria in my mum's kitchen this way and broke a stereotype. The Meru community I come from abhors boys cooking and more so in their mothers’ kitchens.

How does your day start? Most days will find me waking up at 4:00am especially when I am on the day shifts. My first task of the day is to feed my three dogs. From there I help prepare my kids for school and ensure they have breakfast on time before the school bus comes around to pick them. I prefer to leave shortly after given that my clock in is 8:00am.
