My experience began in the restaurant industry on internship at the Lucky Horseshoe where I started as a cook. I then pursued my career at the Waterside restaurant where I rendered my services for 1 year as Commis chef and a part time worker at Island caterers. In the year of 2013, I was then employed at the Accra Beach Hotel &Spa where I moved up the rank to Chef de Partiè.

In the year of 2016, I represented Accra in BHTA Professional Cook-off where I was nominated in the top 10 finalists. I also participated in the Nifca Culinary Arts competition where I received a bronze medal in the exhibition and placed 3rd in the professional’s cook-off finals. I was then given the opportunity to train with the Barbados Culinary Team training sessions 2017. Last year 2019 I have entered the BHTA Professional Culinary Cook Off Competition again where is placed 3rd and now I am currently a member of the Culinary Barbados Team 2020 – 2021.

For me, cooking is...

A language, a way to bring people together and express how you really feel through flavour , textures and presentation.

I learned to cook at...

SJPI Institution , then I further my experience within the finest restaurants around the island.

A cooking secret...

The secret to my kitchen is respecting the flavours of the ingredients and love .

Chef Omar was excellent under very trying circumstances. By this I mean our kitchen left a lot to be desired. His recipes and presentation were superb. Unfortunately the quality of ingredients was not readily available while a problem the taste was still there! Our kitchen left a lot to be desired., I think his methods are so superior I would love to have him cook in my US home in my chef’s kitchen. Chef Omar will not disappoint!
