COOKING LESSON 101

I remembered the first day in our culinary studies in the culinary school. We were just around 15 students per class. The school only accepts 15 students per class in the cooking room because that is the only number that the room can accommodate. We were very close to one another. No wonder until now, we still communicate and get in touch with each other. Now, we are already chefs and own our restaurants.

But some of our classmates were immediately hired abroad because of the skills in cooking. They earn big and they get to travel around the world because of their cooking skills. Me, before I opened my own restaurant, I worked in a hotel in Dubai as a head chef of that hotel. For 3 years, I stayed in that hotel until I decided that my savings is already enough to start my own business. being the head chef of a 5 star hotel is not easy but the pay is good. You have to carefully plan each meal that you will be serving. There are also many occasions that the king would visit the restaurant and as the head chef, you must prepare the most special meal in the hotel.

That is where my cooking skills was molded to the chef that I am right now. I get to read and research many recipes and travel across the world just to find the best dish and recipes. That is why, every time I make a dish, I always write the ingredients and make the recipe as my own. Chefs love to make recipes and so do I. To those who are interested to learn cooking, I would suggest that study in a reputable culinary school. It is a theory and practice rolled into one.
