My passion is everything food. It is my art and joy. I love to bring that passion into your home to bring warmth and strength through food and healthy balanced nutrition. I work very well under pressure, as well as am a highly organized and clean individual. I often work alone and am able to complete numerous tasks in a timely and effective manner. I’ve owned my business as a private chef, mother’s assistant and house keeper for over 5 years now. I have multiple references. It’s a beautiful gift to be welcomed into people’s homes and families, and to be given the opportunity to help in a small way for their life to be made better. I love all the families I work for and look forward to working with new clients in the future. I have over 5 years experience working as a private chef for numerous families. I worked as a private chef in Paris for 1 year where I studied French and other cuisines. I’ve worked in commercial kitchens and cafeterias, as well as 10+ years in the restaurant industry as a server/ bartender. My passion is bringing beautiful fresh flavours together while creating balanced nutrient rich plates that bring people together and fuel us to be our best.

I am a middle-aged woman from the Caribbean. I really enjoy cooking, whether it's Caribbean, Canadian, or healthy vegetarian dishes. I have been cooking for volunteer church dinners for 100-150 people for years, as well as for families and friends at parties or events. I have also taken care of elderly parents and friends' parents and therefore know how to cook with dietary restrictions. I am very clean and organized in the kitchen. You will not be disappointed. I have been catering for groups of about 50 to 100 people, whether at my church or for families and friends in smaller numbers. I have been cooking for my own family for over 36 years.

My name is Zhida, and I am an international student from China, currently pursuing studies in Computer Engineering Technology - Computing Science at Algonquin College. In China, I completed both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, which equipped me with in-depth knowledge and skills for the IT industry, where I also gained significant work experience before relocating to Canada. Cooking has long been a cherished part of my life. I have been cooking for my family for many years and continue to do so for my girlfriend since we began sharing our lives together. My culinary expertise is rooted in Chinese cuisine, with over 60 dishes mastered, but I also enjoy diversifying my skills by crafting homemade sandwiches, pizzas, burgers, and French fries for special occasions. In addition to my culinary interests, I am passionate about programming and enjoy hiking, which allows me to explore and draw inspiration from nature. I am a detail-oriented person, valuing organization and cleanliness in every aspect of life. Despite the rigorous demands of academia, I am a fast learner, capable of adapting quickly to new challenges and adjusting my schedule to meet my commitments. I view cooking as a means of expressing love and care, a philosophy I strive to embody professionally and personally. Thank you for considering my background and experiences. I am eager to bring my blend of technical and culinary skills to potential employers who appreciate innovation, precision, and a creative approach. Feel free to make adjustments to better tailor it to your unique style and additional experiences! As a dedicated family cook, I have enjoyed preparing meals for my parents over the years, which laid the groundwork for my passion for cooking. Since I met my girlfriend, I have taken on the role of the primary cook in our household, creating meals for her every day. Our relationship has flourished over the past six years, built on love, support, and a mutual care for one another. I specialize primarily in Chinese cuisine and have mastered over 60 dishes, showcasing my diverse cooking skills. Whether it’s the intricate flavors of traditional Chinese meals or the comfort of homemade sandwiches, pizza, burgers, and fries, I constantly strive to bring joy to our dining experiences. My confidence and speed in learning new recipes enable me to adapt quickly, ensuring that I always have something delicious and unique to offer. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering Technology - Computing Science at Algonquin College. Though I am taking a semester off, I am committed to managing my time effectively when classes resume to maintain my culinary activities alongside my academic responsibilities. Cooking, for me, transcends the mere act of preparing food; it is a heartfelt way to show love and care for those I cherish.

My name is Lorraine, a passionate culinary professional, currently living in Ottawa. Originating from Halifax, Nova Scotia, I've relocated to live a new chapter of life after successfully recovering from a car accident with my partner. As a resilient individual, I found solace and therapy in cooking and baking during my recovery phase. Fuelled by passion and experience of 4 years in various restaurants, I dream of owning my own restaurant one day. My last job was at a popular cafe, and I absolutely loved the buzz of creating delicious meals for a large crowd. I am available to start working immediately, and my schedule is flexible across all seven days of the week, covering mornings, afternoons, and evenings. While I can't relocate due to personal constraints, I am willing to travel and have a driver's license, although I do not own a vehicle suitable for job usage. From catering for large events to being a personal cook or a dietary chef at a school, I am open to all kinds of culinary roles. I look forward to working in an environment where I can manage key culinary responsibilities such as dishwashing, procuring products, pastry preparation, kitchen maintenance, children's meal preparation, table setting and serving. With a strong background in preparing Canadian, Italian, Middle Eastern, Japanese, and several other varied cuisines including vegetarian and vegan, I am confident in delivering a diverse plate. I pride myself on my knowledge of hygienic standards, modern cooking technology, confectionary industry experience, managing employees, professional plating, and barbecuing. In particular, my experience in catering will undoubtedly be an asset to any large-scale culinary operations. I hold a Food Handler’s Certification and am willing to undergo a police check if required. As a Canadian citizen, I am well-versed in English and French, adding to my multicultural culinary capabilities. Looking forward to bringing a dollop of passion, a pinch of creativity, and a whole lot of flavor to your kitchen. Cooking and baking have always been a passion of mine. I have worked for a variety of restaurants/companies. The majority of my experience is working in small businesses which has made me an excellent multitasker. If you like crepes, you will love mine! I worked at a crepe cafe where I also learnt my barista skills. I have catered a lot of large events but also enjoy a nice home style, comfort food. Babysitting a variety of young children, I can also very easily make kid friendly meals! I am always trying new recipes and am up for any challenge!
