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.

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.

I've worked with Spainards who can't cook Paella and Italians unable to cook Risotto.

 

And I have worked with English people who wouldn't know where to start when it comes to a traditional Sunday roast.

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.

Aunt Bessie has certainly made them easy, as you've clearly demonstrated here
