perm sec in LCB paris
i think this guy's pretty cool. he actually signed up for the basic cuisine course n completed it. it's very stressful to study cuisine. pastry was less stressful n we were always happier than those in cuisine lessons.
it's good that he wrote abt that experience n how tough it was. now the media shd just tap on this - how much hard work there is in the commercial kitchen. every week, sunday plus features a chef n very often they just highlight their success. i think they shdn't emphasize too much on it coz pple start to think how cool it is to be a professional chef. let me tell you this: a chef is just another blue collar worker. there's nothing glam abt it. i also think that the media shdn't interview the younger chefs. this could lead to arrogance. so far, i have seen two cases like that. if they're heston blumenthal or pierre herme, i say, go ahead. they've got quality.
going back to the point where i feel that the media shd feature how much hard work there is in this trade, i think they shd just go to a commercial kitchen especially that of a hotel and just film a day's work of the chefs. dun go during the peak times. maybe that film can garner a few awards n make those who're considering to step into the industry, reconsider doing so.
this industry needs passionate souls to give it a lift. dun tell me how much u love baking or cooking at home n u wanna become a chef just like that. tell me how much u love being in a comercial kitchen where there is intense pressure n mind you, some chefs, actually time u on how fast or slow u r in completing a task. i need to hear these words;i just love the pressure n the pace of this trade.
anyone who is interested in filming "one day as a chef", please contact me. i wanna be involved in this production. dun bother to watch anthony bourdain or jamie oliver. get back to reality.
