Today we’d like to introduce you to Rajesh Ramesar
Hi Rajesh, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started out as an 18 year old who barely knew my way around a kitchen and very little about food. I hadn’t ever thought about portion sizes and my eye for plating had not yet been developed, but my flavor palette has always been on point. As I worked in the industry the “hands on” experience is what really toned my skills. When you have a 100 covers, and just enough product for that, you really see how important portion sizes are. You have to make sure you are consistent. Everything I know I have learned from my experience and exposure to various crowds, and events, cultures via social networking.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Well, a smooth sea never made a skillful sailor they say, so no it has not been a smooth road. Thankfully it hasn’t been impossibly rocky either, many of the struggles I have experienced were usually onsite at a job or event. The biggest struggle by far has been having to cater to a larger party or event, with little to no staff or help.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a chef at a Caribbean restaurant. My specialty is catering for banquets, private events and parties. I am known for my contemporary take on plating traditional food. or “de constructed” I am most proud of the services and hospitality I have been able to provide for people and the good impressions I have made. What sets me apart from others is being able to adapt and find common ground with the expectations of my clients.
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
What matters to me most is quality. I’m big on details, and the care that goes into it, in almost anything that I do because that’s what people are going to remember.
