Chefs

[minux]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone here on JC is a Chef?

Not a Kitchen hand, more so a head or second chef in a restaurant.

Oh i was going to say, i am qualified, i have certificates 1 2 and 3, but i'd never work in a kitchen again. Did it for over a year after my studies, ended up hating it. I have it as a back up though if i ever need a job.

Inflicting my own cooking on myself is bad enough let alone inflicting it on others

Thinking of renaming JustCommodores to Just Cooking ???

And what may you be trying to find out?

I'm not personally but I have a good friend that is - and another that is his apprentice.

Just need to ask a few questions whether online or in person, I could ask my Uncle, but I'd expect bull**** answers lol.

I'll see what I can do, easiest way would be to call them. But by the time I get a hold of him with his shifts you'll have someone else.

I'll hang back in the shadows in case you can't get anybody to help.

One of my sons is the second chef in a noted restaurant on the north shore - 14/20 with one wine glass, but lost their hat this year when the required score went up to 14.5. Type of facility is "fine European dining".

He has run both the entree and dessert sections of the restaurant (at times both), though has been promised the mains section sometime soon.

Like all chefs, he works silly hours. I only see him on Sundays and Mondays. If you want to, PM me the questions and I will pose them to him this weekend.

Suits JC as he drives my old VSII Manual.

because when I get time, I want to ask a few. Other than that, no other reason

fair enough, my aunty has been head chef at the top restaurant at falls creek, I'd give you her number to call but she's busy running a cafe now. If you do get stuck though, get back to me and I'll try figure something out

[vnv8driver]

my gf is a pastry chef, which includes basic kitchen hand skills, bakers degree, etc... may not work in a restaurant but pastry chefs can make things out of nothing, instead of opening a packet and adding water....

Now now get the facts right a chef does not open packets a cook does! if you are a proper chef you cook from scratch and you are in charge of the kitchen and you love food and what you do. Thats why they are called pastry chefs not pastry cooks. a chef is what you are and then there are brances off that pastry, sous, chef de partie and most imprtantly the chef de cuisine or " head chef" unless of course you are in the army and then the cooks are fitters and turners cause they fit stuff into pots and turn it in to S***!!
