Guy Allan Davis has worked as a chef for the majority of his career,
focusing primarily on patisserie and confection. In doing so, he has
needed to develop a number of key qualities that make him a desirable
employee. The following are all important traits that chef’s must
possess.
Creativity
If you do not have a creative
mind you will be unable to think of new ways to blend ingredients and
present the dishes that you create. While this doesn’t prevent you from
being a god cook, it will reflect poorly in your work as a chef,
especially if customers have high expectations for the quality of the
food they eat on all levels.
Dedication
Working as a
chef is a demanding job and it takes an enormous amount of dedication to
learn everything that you need to know. A lack of focus in your work
leads to mistakes being made, which reflects poorly on your talents as a
chef and may make it harder to find work.
Leadership
Chefs
need to be able to organize their kitchens to get everybody focused on
creating amazing dishes. This is an area where Guy Allan Davis excels,
with Mahmud Sayyad, who is the Executive Chef at the Capri Center,
stating: “Allan has proven leadership ability by organizing the patisserie, and is more than capable of managing his brigade...” This
ability to lead is crucial if you want to take control of your own
kitchen and ensure your ideas are seen through to fruition.
