Summary

Passionate and fast-learning chef with 12 months of hands-on experience in a bustling seafood restaurant, where I've mastered recipes such as sauces and mezes, perfected bread-making, and confidently managed the main grill or fryer during peak hours. Skilled in preparing and grilling a variety of seafood dishes, maintaining high food safety standards, and providing exceptional service to customers with dietary needs. With a background in teaching and management spanning 14 years, I'm a reliable, adaptable team player ready to bring my dedication and efficiency to a new kitchen. Living locally in Surbiton, I'm always prepared to step in and help when needed
