What Is A Chef?

    A chef is a person that has studied for many years in the culinary arts to learn how to run a successful kitchen and properly prepare meals in a professional environment.

    There are quite a few places that a chef can choose to work in. Some of these include:

·        Restaurants

·        Hospitals

·        Hotels

·        Cruise ships

·        Rest Homes

·        Diners

These aren’t all of the places that a chef can work in, but you get the general idea.

There are also many choices that can be made in regard to the position a chef may take in their work space. To be a chef, you must first study in a culinary school, or apprentice first.

You can’t get to the level of head chef and to running a kitchen without first knowing the basics.  That will be covered in the next section.

    In a kitchen environment, you are required to lift heavy pots and stirring sauces constantly is also very common. It can be a very stressful job.
