As many of you know I'm a chef and have been for over 40 years.Just a little insight into my life.At present I am working in a high profile city location. This kitchen has many problems.Many chefs have left over the past 7 months.I am in charge of the evening shift which should have 4 chefs.At present there is myself and one other chap also one other on overtime.What has cheered me up is the other chef has improved no end . As this business is not high paid unless you are a high profile chef.I am pleased that I have passed on some of my knowledge. That makes up for the lack of pounds.Sadly over the years I have worked with 20,30 year olds that gave list there live for cooking.Often I have been fed up etc,but never lost my love for trying to produce good food.Its what keeps me going.Why working in hot/cold kitchens.Suffering from cuts/burns.All I need is a good day (like today)That's all I want.So the next time you call into a pub,restaurant,cafe just remember what I said.We do what we do not always for money,but because we love cooking.
