Hi, I’m
Nastasia Ten
Sushi Chef
Amsterdam
Summary
I have extensive experience working in high-pressure, fast-paced environments as a Sushi Chef. During my time at my previous jobs, I was responsible for preparing sushi dishes quickly and accurately while managing multiple orders simultaneously. I am confident that I can handle the pressure of a busy restaurant kitchen and thrive in a fast-paced environment. My ability to stay organized and efficient under pressure is one of my greatest strengths in the kitchen. Furthermore, I enjoy the challenge of creating delicious sushi dishes quickly and efficiently. I love experimenting with sauces and spices to bring out the flavor of the dish. Working with these ingredients allows me to create unique and delicious dishes that customers will remember. Having a skill of cutting the fish and preparing it for the service.
