People are influenced by everything from jobs, music, fashion, certain people, even to different cultures. Chefs never seemed like the group of people one would expect to have an impact on the world, but they do. They change the way people see food and show that it is far more than just a way to stay alive it is sort of like a new way of life to say. There was one woman who changed the scene entirely, by graduating from the Parisian cooking school Le Cordon Bleu, publishing 19 books, airing 13 television shows, and having 8 DVD releases. Julia Child has been an inspiration for many cooks but has also influenced society as a whole while changing the way people thought about food and at the same time, revolutionizing the professional cooking industry for women.
Alice with her self sustaining restaurant, friends and family based meals. Taking what the community has to offer and giving right back tenfold! thats what being a chef is. Being a chef really has nothing to do with how efficiently you can butcher half a cow, how perfect your battonet slice is, or how aromatic and golden your basic stock is. Being a chef is being a community leader/activist.

Healthy competition can drive people forward. Allowing a kid to doing what they want because they enjoy it can open them up socially by allowing them to reach out and teach others that don’t have that same niche. If we force a child to be overly competitive, this decreases the child’s ability to grow in other areas in life because they are too focused on being the best. If they don’t live up their standards of being the best, this will cause the child to be insecure about their abilities and they will constantly seek approval. Unhealthy competition can detrimental later on in life when trying to get into a great school, find a partner or in getting a job.
Classic kitchen brigade refers to the way the kitchen in restaurants and hotels are set up, with a hierarchy of positions and responsibilities and duties to go along with each position. The kitchen brigade separates the kitchen into several departments and helps to organize these departments. Every department/station pays an integral role in the kitchen and a well-qualified staff must be presented to ensure efficiency. The individual at the top of the hierarchy is the Chef de cuisine (Executive Chef). This individual ensures that every station and operation in the kitchen is running effectively and efficiently. He is responsible for menu management, ordering, relaying suggestions to the owner of the restaurant or hotel (if he does not own it), supervising the kitchen operations and hiring the right personnel for the kitchen. This is the leader of the kitchen. Next, second in command to the Chef de Cuisine is the Sous-Chef. The Sous Chef’s responsibilities are: report to the Chef de Cuisine; schedule, replace and manage any open stations; assist station chefs if help is needed; relay the orders to the stations; examine plate presentation of ...
A culinary chef has many skills and responsibilities that are not only necessary and useful, but also required to succeed. According to the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Chefs and head cooks oversee the daily food preparation at restaurants and other places where food is served. They direct kitchen staff and handle any food-related concerns.” (“Chefs and Head Cook”) I have three main reasons for choosing the culinary field. The first is I have a lot of experience with and around kitchens and I know I really enjoy the atmosphere of a kitchen. Secondly, I am talented in cooking and I have succeeded in the programs I have already been a part of for culinary. The final reason for choosing Culinary Arts is that
It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be a chef. However, if one has a passion for cooking it will pay off. I am a creative person and cooking has endless possibilities of creativity, such as the way you make it and the way you plate it. I want to become a chef and hopefully open a restaurant one day. To do that, you need to learn the basic skills. Julia Child once said, “No one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.”
Yes, it is to a certain extent. Competition is good for us as it challenges each individual. Without competition, there would be no standards and we would not know how to improve on areas we lack. In addition, we may not know where we stand, be it mentally, physically and academically. Different kinds of competition challenge us in different aspects and helps us to progress and move with times.
