SUMMARY
Diligent chef with over 20 years’ experience in professional kitchen. Obtained lowest food cost with my current employer. As a natural leader I ‘am not only able to give orders and delegate tasks, but also able to reliably carry out orders as well. As experience chef I have a proven track record of making great food that will entice dinners and leave them wanting more. I love freedom of expression that cooking gives me and I am willing to work hard to build a career in culinary world. Right now I am looking for a suitable position with a company that wants to recruit talented and enthusiastic individual. I was also involved in the pre-opening of Sierra Restaurant and Tribe Hotel respectively.
