I'm an
Individual
To Whom It May Concern, September 30, 2017 Thank you for the opportunity to submit my credentials for the position of Private Chef and share a little about what drives me to be the best chef and offer the best possible service. In two words..PASSION & LONGEVITY. Over the course of my almost twenty years involved in the food service industry including the most recent almost ten years owning my own Private Chef Concierge Business since 2008, I’ve demonstrated a heart of sacrifice, a tireless dedication and passion to enhance the lives of others through my hospitality services. I'm currently transitioning and seeking a Full time role focusing on someone who appreciates five star service. My geographic work life experiences in NYC-Hampton's, Palm Beaches, Miami Beach and travels abroad to Europe and The Caribbean, not to mention growing up in NY, reflects in my diverse repertoire of menus, pallet and staying current with food trends. “My food philosophy is rooted in cooking with the freshest, seasonal and locally grown foods available. I love and take pleasure in carefully sourcing and preparing foods letting ingredients shine but with a brushstroke of artful plate presentation to delight ones senses. I’m passionate about the culinary arts and my clean cooking style has been known to make people feel healthy, vibrant, and alive!” I would fit well into a formal environment or a more relaxed family environment due to my various past experiences with multiple clients within my business relationship. I'm comfortable serving family style and intricate five course fine dining as well. My vision is to be placed in a long-term year round role where some travel is required. I’m superbly well presented and flexible and I’m looking for a role where I can stay and thrive long term ideally. I'm hands on with good attitude, high energy, and strong work ethic..Comfortable working around children..Exceptional organizational and time-management skills..Excellent cooking skills with ability to prepare and serve daily meals and exceptional events and parties. I'm flexible to work overtime and some weekends as needed. I have the ability to travel with principals as needed and possess a valid current US Passport, valid clean driver's license and US work authorization. I believe I will be an strong culinary figure in your home based on my leadership, positive attitude and character that was built up over my career. My formal educational (4 years total) foundation I received, two years at one of the best Culinary programs in America taught at Johnson & Wales University has given me the tools to succeed in any arena. I have been trained and mentored under Master Chefs such as Dean Robert Nograd and Chris Wagener at Johnson & Wales as well as working with Master Chefs at the 1996 Summer Olympics high volume catering and at Disney World. As a Private Executive Chef I’m involved with every aspect of the business. In other words I’m completely hands on and am personally accountable. I source and consult vendors, plan menus, research, shop, cook, serve, clean etc. I do it all! As a Private chef I’m trained to pay special attention to details even more so since it’s relationship based, personalized and customized service. I’m always in the spotlight, in high pressure situations, under high expectations, catering to Ceo’s, politicians, professionals and athletes who have high expectations and very global discerning pallets. Some figures I had the privilege to cook for and people I've collaborated with include President Obama, Senator Kolber, Microsoft's Paul Allen, Michael Jordan, Chris Cline, Jillian Michaels just to name a few. My life as a Private Chef has prepared me to be a loyal, trustworthy and discreet person with confidentiality being paramount. I’m seeking a role where I can utilize my unique qualities and thrive in a home such as yours while giving you years of satisfaction and peace of mind that you will be taken good care of. Most Sincerely, Chef Lawrence Stewart Males www.....com
