A passion for food helped 19 year old Joshua Trovato, a chef from the United States, secure an internship at Fraser’s Restaurant in Kings Park, where he has launched an exciting career and enjoyed some truly Western Australian experiences. “I’m a certified chef with a degree in Culinary Arts from North Carolina’s Johnson and Wales University. To complete my study I had to do an internship and I chose Fraser’s," says Josh.“Coming to Australia was a big decision but I’m glad I made the move. WA has so much to offer – great beaches, wines, lifestyle. Some of the highlights have been visiting beautiful Rottnest Island, Perth Zoo, and attending my first AFL (Australian Football League) game.
“At Fraser’s I enjoy the fast pace of the kitchen and lots of hands-on experience, I love that every meal that comes out has my signature on it - and the view from Kings Park is sensational.
“Cooking with fresh local ingredients has been a unique experience of its own. I’ve always had a big taste for food, my family is Italian and food is a major part of our culture, but I never thought I’d get the chance to cook or eat kangaroo!
“The people have been so warm and welcoming and I have definitely made some lifelong friendships.
“When I return to the States I will continue my studies with a degree in Food and Beverage Management. One day I hope to run my own I restaurant.”
