My Cooking
I am a chef of nearly 20 years experience.
When young kids ask me if they should take up cooking as a profession, I honestly and whole heartedly tell them “don’t do it, there is a better way to earn a living”
Before I go on, I must explain something first.

is it a patience thing??
Ever been on queue at a busy bank or a check out? You notice that the other line beside you is moving quicker than the one you are in. You to and fro from this line and the one next to you. Eventually the faster moving line entices you and you decide to switch lines in the hope you can be served quicker but when you get there, the line starts to slow right down and the line you just left moves quicker, so much so that it makes your line seem like it’s come to a halt.

Since I have started cooking, many years ago, I have always thought that there should be camera in the kitchens. What a story, what a reality show!! So many thongs happen, so many emotions and so many things that are taught and learnt in the kitchen and let me tell you, it’s not all lessons related to food either. Life lessons, team comradery and team dynamics. So many variables in one day and so many faces you have to put on just to get on and when you’re tired, grumpy and busy with work, then that is when all the fun begins and it’s when the show reel gets really entertaining. Chefs shouting at each other, other chefs pushing another for perfection, some are lazy, some are hard workers, some have too many bloody problems they have brought to work and is now affecting their cooking, so variables and with so many outcomes to each day. A choose your own adventure book, kind of like the opens I used to read when I was kid. Same book every day for a few weeks but every time a different ending. Cooking in a commercial kitchen is pretty much the same and then we produce food amongst all that!!
So…….you go through life, you meet lots of people along the way, each one different, each teaching you something about life, about people. Each person you meat is another page in your book, another layer of knowledge, another insight into humanity. As the years go on, the more you learn the more you get closer to clarity about life or in this instance, people!!
