Introduction
Hello, my name is Richard, and I am a kitchen assistant. Although I am slow to warm up, this trait allows me to be more patient and meticulous in my work, ensuring that every detail is executed perfectly.
Since stepping into the culinary industry, I have discovered my immense passion for food. From chopping and preparing ingredients to cooking, I enjoy every part of the process. I believe that behind every delicious dish lies countless efforts and dedication, and I am willing to invest my time and energy to complete these tasks.
My slow-to-warm-up personality helps me stay calm and composed under pressure and challenges. I value teamwork and collaborate closely with my colleagues to ensure that each dish meets the expectations of our customers. Whether it’s preparation work or final plating, I strive for perfection, ensuring that every customer can feel our dedication.
Working in the kitchen, I have learned many practical skills and continuously improve my techniques. I love learning new cooking methods and am open to taking on various challenges to refine my culinary skills.
Thank you all for your support and guidance. I hope to continue growing in this field and bring more delicious dishes to everyone.
