About Segun Taiwo

As a Chef with a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Chemistry, I combine my scientific knowledge and culinary skills to create delicious and nutritious meals that satisfy customers and improve their well-being. I have a passion for food and cooking, and I enjoy learning from qualified chefs and exploring different cuisines and techniques.I have worked as a Demi Chef de partie at BARON and a Restaurant Chef at A'LA GRECQUE, where I enhanced food hygiene practices, monitored portion and waste control, handled special customer requests, and plated meals with meticulous attention to presentation. I also contributed to boosting customer satisfaction and sales by over 50%, and promoting kitchen and food safety by 78%. My core competencies include catering management, intercontinental dishes, baking and icing, banquet operations, events management, and food service. I am always eager to expand my culinary horizons and pursue new challenges in the food industry.Being a Chef is about feeding people, which is part of the story of all humanity. Being an Industrial Chemist, people find it challenging to understand the career switch, considering how far apart they are. I love to eat, but my utmost satisfaction is seeing someone eat my food and love it; that is how I grew an interest in cooking. Cooking started as a hobby and grew into a career.As a food lover, I grew interest and gathered experience on everything that relates to food. I research healthy eating and safe spices and ingredients. Cooking goes beyond the eating process, it extends to what ingredients are used and the environment it is made in. I am a seasoned Chef with experience in local and intercontinental dishes, creating food menus and recipes. I have prepared diverse, unique and healthy meals that improve the human body with herbs and spices. I have always been interested in healthy food preparation; this has improved my utilization of natural herbs to spice food, making my meals delicious and nutritious. I also possess unique organizational skills that make my work environment organized and very hygienic, as this is vital for food preparation. I am outstanding for:* Boosting sales and customer satisfaction on meal serving by 59%* Increasing sales figures by over 50% * Promoting kitchen and food safety by 78% by adhering to safety rules and regulationsMy Core Competence expands to:* Culinary Management* Catering management* Food Preparation* Kitchen Management* Intercontinental Dishes*Banquet Operations*Events Management*Food Service*Food Safety*Customer Service
