Many professional chef fall in love with one or more specific types of foods. They become
passionate about the quality and history of that food. They may spend countless days and
nights learning the history, the spices and the overall best way to perfect these recipes. This is
great passion. This is something that can help any individual to take their culinary skills to the
next level. Are you doing this even within your home? If not, it could help you to explore new
areas.
One of the markets of a great chef, as opposed to a good chef, is their understanding of the
food. It is of their depth of education and knowledge that they can really do well. The good news
is that you can easily get this level of knowledge by simply doing some homework. Take some
time to learn about the history and the culture from where your favourite dishes come from. You
may find out some pretty amazing facts including what dishes are commonly made with it and
why the dish came to be. This is a great way to learn how properly to make the dish too.
So you love being in the kitchen, but do you have the characteristics to be a great chef? Being
a great chef doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a lot time and perseverance to be a chef. There
are a few characteristics that are going to make the difference between your being a good chef
and a great one.
One of the first things you’ll learn is that you need to be good at multi tasking. There isn’t a day
that goes by where you won’t have to do many things at one time. Most kitchens move at a
very fast pace and you’ll have to learn to keep up no matter what is happening around you.
You’ll need to make quick decisions and think things out very clearly. What are you going to do
if that lamb you’ve been cooking can’t possibly be ready in ten minutes?
If you want to run your own restaurant and kitchen you’ll need to make instant decisions so that
everything runs smoothly. The kitchen is a busy and noisy place with lots of people running
around trying to get a job done. A great chef has the ability to tune out what isn’t significant and
focus on what is important at that time.
Successful chefs are able to monitor everything that is being prepared in the kitchen while at the
same time staying on top of their own duties. If someone else is having problems, the head
chef needs to be able to assist at the drop of a hat without missing a beat. A kitchen runs
smoothly when the chef is able to inspire everyone to stay focused even it seems as though
things are falling apart.
No restaurant is going to serve only one dish. This means the chef will need to be cooking
many things at one time, especially if the restaurant is a busy and successful one. And no
matter how busy the restaurant is, every dish will have to go to the table with perfection or else
the reputation of the restaurant as being “superb” will soon falter.
Alongside all the quick thinking and multi tasking that goes on in the kitchen, a great chef will
need to be creative. It’s this creativity that is going to make one chef stand out more than
another. Diners don’t want to choose from the ordinary. They want to eat food that is unique,
inspiring, and great tasting. Great chefs have the ability to pull all this together to achieve
perfection.
