Chef L\u00e9a originally started her professional life by going to med school, but after deciding to follow her passion, she switched to culinary school and has not looked back. Chef L\u00e9a started her culinary career at Fera, the esteemed restaurant of the five-star hotel, Claridges. There she honed her skills. Afterward, she received a tremendous opportunity to return to Paris to work with famed pastry chef, Chef Stephane Glacier.
