Elegant, decadent, modern with a big pinch of healthy!
Experience
I am an out of the box creative chef with a true passion for recipe development and menu design.
I have held senior positions in the Hospitality Industry for over 15 years. I am a creative, enthusiastic, hardworking chef with a true passion for food, experienced in functions, a la carte, 5-star catering for individual clients, and also supervising apprentices. In addition, in my current place of work I create tailor made recipes for clients, give cooking demonstrations, lessons and farmer's market tours. I am knowledgeable in a variety of cuisines and dietary restrictions such as plant-based, gluten-free, keto, raw foods and paleo and have developed tailored recipes for my clients. I am extremely skilled at putting my own stamp on traditional dishes, creating new combinations and experimenting with new flavors whilst being careful not to compromise the freshness and originality of the food I prepare.
My recipe development experience encompasses the creation of a line of vegan confectionery for “Byron Bay Sweets” such as gummies, caramels, chocolates and lollipops. I have also developed and produced all natural hot sauces for “Hellish Sauces” with ingredients sourced from local suppliers.
My qualifications are: Certificate III/IV in Commercial Cookery, Food Safety Supervisor Certificate, NSW/QLD RSA and a current First Aid Certificate.
Thank you for your time, I look forwards to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely Yours,
Rachel
