• Depending on the amount of education in the
culinary arts will determine how much experience
you need to become a chef. Straight out of high
Introduction school you can begin working in kitchens as a line
cook or prep chef. Beginning as a prep chef you can
gain experience and more responsibility and
eventually become a head chef.
What is a chef?
• A chef is a professional cook, the chef is usually in charge of
everyone in the restaurant including waiters, cooks, and others.
• I chose chef as my career because I enjoy cooking, I find cooking
fun and relaxing and for me at least it relieves stress.
• I think chef is a good fit for me because I'm a good leader and I
can help people out when they are in stressful situations.
• Another reason is because I can handle stressful situations and as
a chef there will be a lot of situations when the restaurant gets a
lot of customers, I would have to be all over the place in the
kitchen and the restaurant. ( Howtobecome)
• Chefs must review menus and are responsible for
gathering all the ingredients that are needed.
• They must oversee the prep cook with washing, peeling
and mixing of ingredients, if there is no prep cook the
chef must do these tasks.
• The head chef oversees all stations and prepares his own
Daily duties dish.
