This site is about a lot of things and among them is my future. I am Scott Kay (Kraske) and I am classically trained under a great German chef; CMC Raimund Hoffmeister. He was the founder of my Culinary Alma Mater @ The Art Institute of Las Vegas.
REDCarte.Com
Imagine a long resume and you have REDCarte. The site had a lot of lives, just like me, where for a period of my life it was about my past personal chef business. I had my first personal chef client in 2002 shortly after going into culinary school and it was a celebrity!
I cooked for Author Terry Goodkind a few times along with his lovely wife and their guests which one time included Creator / Director Joss Whedon. Not to name drop, but cooking for celebrities is really cool.
My Resume
My career is largely pastry running close to 60/40 in experience. It has been the field I feel I have excelled in and want to pursuit. I definitely do not want to be limited to that because as I find a place in a kitchen I want to learn everything I can from whomever I end up working for.
In my last position at ROE, I literally loved going to work every day. I wanted to be there and I wanted to work very hard, which was so heart breaking when I ended up leaving. In spite of issues surrounding that my passion is not dimmed one bit.
The positions I have been interviewing for have been dream jobs. Although I could not list them, most have been as a Pastry Cook or as a Pastry Assistant.
What Now?
This site is my resume on steroids as mentioned at the top of the page. It has also been my place to post blogs and recipes. It has not been especially active because my focus over everything right now is my job search.
The interviews I have had have been awesome and I have been inched out of positions that were so close I could taste. I am a hard worker, dedicated, passionate and hope that wherever I end up going I will be able to give some creative input and have a road to building a future. I am not here to game the play; I am here to play the game and raise myself and any company I work for.
