Take two Northampton College catering students, mix together and add a pinch of romance… it’s a recipe for love!
Luke Dillow and Kirsty Jeffs, who studied Professional Cookery together in 2017/18, returned to Booth Lane for the first time for a ‘date night’ meal at the college’s in-house restaurant – only for Luke to stun his partner by popping the question in a pre-planned stunt he had arranged with his former lecturer.
The proposal brought back special memories as it was the same restaurant where the pair had enjoyed their first lunch together as a couple four years previously.
Luke said:
“We were both on the same college course and became good friends before finally getting together in March 2018. The Lane restaurant means a lot to both of us so it seemed the perfect place to pop the question.
Luke is now an estate agent in Milton Keynes while Kirsty works for a recruitment agency. He said:
“We might not be working in the industry but we loved the professional cookery course and got a lot out of it. We both still love our cooking. It was brilliant to go back and the standard was superb, especially considering the students have had to study online for periods throughout the pandemic which is so difficult in that kind of industry. They did an amazing job.”
