Summary

A creative thinker who has sound knowledge of the latest food trends, and who is intimately familiar with all the activities of the kitchen. I have a strong commitment to quality, service and sustainability in any food and drink that I serve. I have flair for cooking in a fast paced kitchen, and for producing high quality mouthwatering dishes. As someone who is passionate about food and cooking, I am willing to work weekends, early mornings and late nights to produce excellent cuisine and ensure maximum guest satisfaction.

Right now, I am looking for a suitable position with a company that is highly regarded in the field it operates in, and where opportunities for career growth and personal development are plentiful.
