About

I am a chef with more than 10 years of experience across hotels, restaurants, event venues, cafés and institutional kitchens. My experience includes premium steak restaurants, café kitchens and banquets at five-star hotels. I am passionate about preparing food that guests enjoy and making each service run smoothly. I value working with different chefs and sharing skills with other staff. Moving between kitchens helps me build professional connections, learn new techniques and stay current with changing menus and food trends. I bring what I learn to each role and enjoy working with a team to deliver meals we can be proud of. Working across different venues has made me adaptable. I work across kitchen sections and contribute to banquet, catering, à la carte, buffet and café service. I learn a venue’s menu and procedures quickly, organise my section, meet service deadlines and work well with new teams. I have developed a broad range of culinary skills through work in steak restaurants, hotel kitchens, cafés, banquets and institutional catering. I have experience preparing Italian, French, Modern Australian and Indian dishes, from grilled meats, seafood, sauces and à la carte meals to buffet dishes, canapés and café food. I adapt to each venue’s menu and service style while maintaining consistent quality, presentation, portion control and food safety. I lead kitchen operations and coordinate daily food preparation and service. I allocate tasks, train junior staff, plan menus, cost dishes, manage stock and ordering, maintain food quality and presentation, and oversee food safety and allergen procedures.
