Chelsea14Ian Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Over nearly 50 years I've worked with Chefs from all over the world. Most of which very good.Some however could not cook to save there life.Sadly some in positions of power.Cooking is easy a number of important things.Respect of ingredients.Care,taste,ability to listen,timings.You can teach people to cook,but the trick to producing good food is all of those I've mentioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spray Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I remember in the early 1970's eating in the Masquerade restaurant in Reedham which had been previously owned by Norman Chalk. I can't actually remember where it was situated in the village but I know that it was only a short walk from the quay. I do remember a conversation with the then owner who said that he operated the restaurant in the summer then worked in a pea processing factory in the winter !

That was the way it was, I did the summer season in my gift shop at Burgh St Peter and then worked in the brochure dispatch warehouse at Hoseasons during the winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have worked with English people who wouldn't know where to start when it comes to a traditional Sunday roast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Very true doesn't matter what country they are from.If trained properly and have a passion then cooking becomes second nature. Here's some I did earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
