CHEF ADAM ZIEMINSKI AUTOBIOGRAPHY 

 Being a Berkshire native, I graduated Monument Mountain Highschool with the class of '94.  My mother owned a Bakery and while helping out there at the tender age of 13 I decided that I wanted to be a Chef.  I cooked locally while still in highschool for Tanglewood both at Saranak and Highwood dinner clubs.  Shortly afterward I worked one year stints at the Federal House in South Lee and Bistro Zinc in Lenox. 

I attended culinary school at Johnson & Wales University.  During culinary school I worked at the French bistro Pot au Feu in Providence Rhode Island.  During university I completed an appenticeship under Michel Bourdin at Connaught Hotel in Mayfair, London and The Celtic Manor in South Wales, UK.  From there I went on to stage at Le Manoir de Quat Saison in Oxford and  Aquavit in Manhattan.

 My last employ was at Wheatleigh Hotel in Lenox, Massachusetts.  There I was part of the honorary 2005 James Beard Team. Over the course of three years I assisted Chef Bryce Whittlesey and Chef Jeff Thompson to attain the highly sought after AAA Five Diamond Award.  While there I worked through all stations of the kitchen.

Outside of cooking I  have volunteered in the WOOF program at Paradise Biodynamic Farm in Homestead Florida.  I enjoy the new expeiences of traveling through forgein countries and absorbing culture through food, drink and music.  In my free time I play chess, golf, forage and drink wine. 

My travels and culinary have put me beside culinary icons Wylie Dufresne, Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, Charlie Palmer, Jean-Claude Vierne and Patrick O'Connell.
