My First Culinary Experience: Lessons That Shaped My Journey I still remember the excitement when I got the call the from the executive chef at Riccarton Racecourse Jockeys Club, offering me my first job as a commis chef around 15 years ago. It felt like the perfect starting point, and I was eager to learn and grow in such a dynamic environment. One of the best parts of the job was meeting chefs from all over the world, each bringing their own flair and experience. We worked across 5 kitchens, and every day was an adventure. We’d hop into the van, shuttling from kitchen to kitchen, cracking jokes along the way. I’ll never forget the time someone spilled a whole pot of pumpkin soup in the van—it was a messy moment, but we all had a good laugh! A standout moment? Serving the Prime Minister of New Zealand, John Key. The pressure was high, but so was the pride in delivering a top-tier dining experience. Then came Cup Week—the busiest time of the year. With almost 80 chefs working side by side, it was full-on, but it also taught me the value of collaboration and staying cool under pressure. That week was a whirlwind, but it’s one of those experiences you never forget. The lessons I learned at Riccarton carried over into my next role as a Chef de Partie, teaching me to adapt quickly, work under pressure, and thrive in a team environment—skills that were instrumental in my culinary career. Now, in my corporate role, I find those early experiences still guide me. Clear communication, team management, and staying solution-focused in fast-paced situations have become even more essential. Whether in the kitchen or the corporate world, the fundamentals of teamwork and resilience are key. #CulinaryJourney #FirstJobMemories #Teamwork #SkillsForLife #CareerGrowth #CorporateLife #PrimeMinisterExperience

For your network

Patience is so important in my opinion if you want a successful career as a professional chef. More and more I speak with Commis Chefs, thinking they're CDP's and CDP's thinking they're Sous Chefs. Take your time and learn your craft. Pick a great kitchen to work in and if you're patient and can stick at a good place for a long time and not be distracted by the external noise of jumping positions, carrots being dangled of huge pay rises & promises that the grass will be much greener elsewhere then you will go far in our industry.

In the culinary world, facing storms isn’t just metaphorical – it’s a reality. As a Sous Chef, I’ve learned firsthand the importance of a reliable and skilled crew during challenging times. In the kitchen, navigating storms requires coordination, communication, and unwavering determination. A good crew provides stability, trust, and encouragement, enabling us to tackle obstacles and innovate under pressure. With diverse talents and perspectives, a skilled crew helps us adapt quickly and reach new culinary heights. Together, we can conquer any challenge and navigate the seas of gastronomy with skill and resilience. #KitchenBrigade #Teamwork #CulinaryExcellence #Resilience #LinkedInPost
