Joshua James

I’m a highly motivated and dependable culinary professional with hands-on experience in fast-paced kitchens across Canada and India. I support smooth kitchen operations by assisting chefs with food preparation and cooking, operating kitchen equipment safely and efficiently, and maintaining hygiene standards through consistent attention to quality and food safety.

From my Line Cook role at MILESTONES GRILL+BAR in Victoria to my Commis roles at 12 TO 12 FAMILY RESTAURANT in Kottayam, I’ve built strength in recipe adherence, meal presentation, sanitation practices, and timely service during peak hours. I also help with inventory control tasks like rotating food stock—using older items first and rejecting expired goods—while collaborating closely with kitchen teams and contributing ideas like seasonal ingredient options for menu planning. With a Bsc. in Hotel management and catering science from Naipunnya school of management (University of Kerala), I bring a practical, detail-focused approach to every shift.
