Hi, I am looking to start in a kitchen. I have no formal kitchen experience, however my passion is in cooking and always has been. I’ve been in the service industry for eight years however it has all been in the front of the house. I would love an opportunity to start as a line/prep cook in your kitchen. At La Fourno restaurant they let me cook linguine pesto for myself or grill chicken for a salad. I also did very minimal prep work. If it wasn’t busy I would help them clean squid. I was the only server allowed to make my own side salad for the table. When I saw the sous chef was busy, I would do things like put down plates he needed or move the wine in a position he could grab. I learned to cook every entree they serve there. I am also a good judge of timings as I could look at the food and see how long it was before they were done. I had been there for long enough to have a handle on how their kitchen operates. However, I never officially worked in the kitchen, I was still just a server. If you could just give me an interview, I would have no problem demonstrating my knife skills and knowledge of food. To further demonstrate my passion for food, I’m also working on a quinoa cookbook calender of my own personal recipes, listed below is a draft of it as well. I’m ready to work as soon as possible and you can call or e-mail me. Thank you.
