Ariel Davila
I have over five(5) months of entry-level culinary experience from Allie's Place Center for Culinary Education and Employment. I have two certificates in Culinary Essentials 1 and Barista Basics Training. I completed courses in brewing and frothing various types of hot and cold coffees (espresso, lattes, etc.), and teas (boba teas included), and participated in making baked goods (cookies, cakes, brownies, etc.). I completed courses in gourmet cuisines inspired and produced by various cultures such as French, Italian, Spanish, Caribbean, and Greek dishes. For example, I made potatoes and leek soup, Creme Brulee, various pasta from scratch, salads, vinaigrettes, Mexican Corn, tacos, baked chicken and vegetables, and spanakopita (a spinach and cheese pastry pie) to name a few.
I attended workshops at Allie's Place too. I made various donuts, chocolate truffles (coconut milk chocolate, pecan/caramel milk chocolate, strawberry white chocolate), many types of cookies, cakes, brownies, scones, and other pastries. I also decorated cakes. I made, for example, vegan versions of cuisines such as the chicken sandwich made only of oyster mushrooms in a delicious vegan sauce and a rose pastry made with apples, cinnamon, and sugar. I have knife skills and skills in food preparation and I am able to multitask and quickly learn in my environment. I learned some varieties of herb identification, produce, and spices. I have sanitation experience which includes managing cleaning liquids, cleaning stations, cleaning dishes, using dishwashing machinery, drying and organizing dishes to their proper places, learning about the proper food temperatures, frequently washing hands, wearing gloves when handling food, and often wearing hair nets. I helped in packaging baked goods in small plastic bags while placing stickers on the back of the bags with the school's logo, to distribute to customers for free event to promote the school. I organized and presented baked goods for and during events while serving customers food, baked goods, and beverages. I am not a professional chef but I do have some experience in managing my way around the kitchen, and I do have some cooking experience in both cuisines, pastries, and barista training. I like challenges and I am willing to learn as much as possible from more experienced chefs because I did have a dream about opening up my own cafe with my family and I am thinking about whether or not this is something I really want to pursue or not, and the best way for me to find out is by getting involved and engaging with others, and learning as much as possible on what it is like to manage your own business and how best to keep customers satisfied with the service they receive from us as a team. I want to learn more about what a team is all about and how best to direct a team to successfully perform great results, and I am excited to learn as much as possible because I know great food makes people happy all the time and I want to share my experiences with others, especially with those most close to me.
