Esmeralda Patino

I have been working in the Pastry/Restaurant industry for more than 20 years but have mostly focused in the area of Pastry and Dessert preparation.

In the current place I work in I am in charge of the design and the completion of every dessert, old or new on the menu.

I also make the decision of ingredients, quality control and cooperation with the main kitchen.

I also train newly hired staff to help them become knowledgeable in the main points of our functions in the kitchen.

I was a Pastry lead for 9 years in a high end restaurant in Cuenca, Ecuador.

I was in charge of mainly the creation and elaboration of our desserts, but also made and created various types of salads and dressings.

I also on certain occasions provided customer service and internal events support.
