Head Chef @ Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach

About

I am a highly resourceful, flexible, and motivated Sous Chef with an enduring passion for cooking. I understand that a successful business is one that is efficient in using its resources to make a profit. As a Sous Chef, I successfully ran my kitchen to a strict budget ensuring that everyone involved kept to the guidelines around portion control and used stock effectively. I also firmly believe that customer satisfaction is the most important aspect of running a successful restaurant; hence, I like to ensure that the food that comes out of my kitchen is prepared and presented to the highest standard. My practical experience working in busy kitchens and my ever-growing passion towards food have made me flawless in executing culinary arts, management, and customer relations.
