Assistant Garde Manger Chef Cover Letter Examples Kenya

I am writing to express my interest in the Assistant Garde Manger Chef position at Fairmont The Norfolk. With over two years of specialized experience in cold kitchen operations at premier Kenyan resorts, I bring expertise in salad preparation, charcuterie displays, and strict adherence to HACCP standards that align perfectly with Fairmont's renowned culinary excellence. At Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa, I reduced cold kitchen waste by 18% through optimized inventory rotation systems while developing three signature salad recipes featured on the seasonal menu. My commitment to food safety includes training five new staff members on compliance with Kenya's Pests Control Act. Previously at PrideInn Paradise Beach Resort, I supported high-volume operations serving 300+ daily covers and implemented a labeling system that reduced cross-contamination incidents by 40%, earning recognition as 'Most Improved Staff Member.' My skills in food cost control (achieving up to 28% reduction), local ingredient sourcing, and bilingual Swahili/English communication would enable me to immediately contribute to your kitchen team.
