Professional Profile: Irfan Akram Ansari
I am a professional chef instructor with over 15 years of culinary experience and a certified trainer holding a GTT (Group Training Technique) certification. I specialize in delivering structured, high-quality online cooking classes in a professional and engaging manner for individuals and groups interested in both basic and advanced culinary techniques.

Currently serving as Head Chef at Hamad General Hospital, Doha, I manage large-scale kitchen operations catering to patients, VIPs, and staff, with a strong focus on HACCP compliance, menu development, recipe standardization, and food cost control. My approach combines industry best practices with hands-on training, making learning accessible, enjoyable, and effective.

Throughout my career, I have worked with prestigious hotels and institutions including Habitat Hotel (Jeddah), InterContinental Hotel (Saudi Arabia), Crowne Plaza (India), and Trident Hotel (Mumbai). My culinary skills cover a wide range of cuisines—Indian, continental, therapeutic meals, and hospital catering—alongside expertise in buffet presentation, theme dinners, zero-oil cooking, and diet meal planning.

As a certified Qatar Culinary Professionals member and multi-gold medal winner at Salon Culinary 2019 in Doha, I combine award-winning culinary expertise with a passion for teaching. Whether you're a beginner or an aspiring chef, my classes are designed to build confidence, skill, and creativity in the kitchen.
