Chef Basil Barakat

“I’ve always dreamt of studying at RACA and have preferred Culinary Arts to any other major. My priorities were respecting time and attending all my classes; I didn’t want to miss out on anything!

I am currently working in Canada as a Chef De Partie in JW Marriott Vancouver, after I’ve worked at Fairmont Lake Louis, and before that as a Chef De Partie in Hawksworth restaurant.

After graduating from RACA in 2019, I worked for a year at Four Seasons Hotel Amman, and for my internship semester at RACA, I’ve done it at NH Hotels Canary Islands.

I advise future chefs to seek discomfort because sky is the limit!”
