SO YOU WANT TO BECOME A CHEF?
Simple though it may seem, but becoming a chef is not a piece of cake. Cooking is an art that requires culinary and people skills, a willingness to explore and the tenacity to stay the course and perform in highly stressful situations.
It starts with being a cook and working under a chef until you’re ready to take charge of the whole kitchen. ‘Cooking is an amazing journey. It is like studying medicine, it takes ten to fifteen years to learn’, says celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. For this reason, patience and perseverance are the key ingredients, when both cooking a dish, and
making a career in the food industry.
Most established chefs are of the opinion that knowing how a dish tastes when perfectly cooked is the one thing you need to learn in order to cook well.
This is because you are more likely to cook it ten times better if you know what you want it taste like in the end. Taking classes is not absolutely necessary as experience is the ultimate teacher.
However, education coupled with experience can go a long way in giving you an edge over your peers.
Other qualities that make a great chef include commitment to quality, attention to detail and above all, a thorough understanding of how
different flavours complement each other. However, passion for food is the icing on the cake!
