As a passionate culinary chef with over 5 years experience as a cook and commis chef,i have always had a passion for food and since an early age have been experimenting with recipes and different foods and I like to spend time doing this. I am a perfectionist and like to work in a clean and tidy kitchen and I always clean as I go along not leaving a huge pile of washing up till the end.
Am a hard worker, very organised and a stickler for attention to detail and I feel that these skills are good in a kitchen setting. I enjoy working as part of a wider team but I am also very capable of working on my own initiative.There is a lot more that I have to offer in a commis chef role, including the ability to expedite orders, and perform portioning tasks. Also, I possess expertise in handling food rotating activities and overseeing food supplies inventory
