how to become a chef
When you think about chefs, what do you think of first? Which
aspects of chefs are important, which are essential, and which
ones can you take or leave? You be the judge.
Becoming a freelance chef does not mean that just knowing how to
cook automatically qualifies you to go into someone's home and
cook for them. Obtaining the necessary industry (yes, it is an
industry!) knowledge through a comprehensive training program
puts you way ahead of the game. Knowing how to market yourself
as well as how to go about everyday business functions like
accounting, price-setting, scheduling, menu-planning, customer
relations, and more can very well dictate whether Click here to read more from this article

Great Chef Cookware Starts Selling Kitchen Products on the World Wide Web
Lynn, MA - A new company has emerged and is making it's mark as the leader in the knowledge of kitchen products.
Six months ago, Great Chef Cookware (www.greatchefcookware.com) was started by Jennifer Santerre. As a stay at home mom with two children, she spent a lot of time in the kitchen either cooking for her family or spending the time baking with her kids. She found out that her kitchen products didn't hold up very well over a long period of time and needed more reliable kitchen products that held up on their own. She didn't have time to constantly go shopping for "new" kitchen products.
From taking cooking classes and talking to professional cooks, Jennifer realized that the way to great food and entertaining came from the high quality kitchen products that they used. However, most of kitchen products that the professionals used were too expensive and out of the price range of the everyday person. In addition, there was so much information in deciding how and what to look for in a kitchen product, but no one place to find it. So, she started Great Chef Cookware.
There are many websites that focus on selling kitchen items, but not so many that tell you what to look for in a product before buying it, says Jennifer, Everyone is going to places like Amazon and eBay. However, to look for a good kitchen item, you must have information and the products that back up that information. Great Chef Cookware provide both. For example, you can find out what to look for in the best cookware sets and cutlery sets and than find these products on the same website.
The website includes a monthly cooking tip, a chance to win a free kitchen product, and ongoing sale promotions. You can even have a bit of fun with their online poll.
In six months, Great Chef Cookware started as an idea to help people become better in the kitchen and now gets over 5,000 hits per month.
I love to cook and enjoy time with family & friends, laughs Jennifer, I am proud to have created a resource that people can go to make their eating and entertaining more enjoyable. And they can do that at greatchefcookware.com."

Chefs often question, warn, or even outright discourage individuals from seeking to join their ranks. I believe this emanates from the people frustrated with their dead-end, cubicle-trapped jobs, plopped on their Sunday couches watching Emeril "bam" his way through a couple dishes, and saying to themselves: "I could do that." These amateur cooks naively believe that there is a correlation between preparing homemade or TV meals and the professional kitchen. Worse yet, they may have stars in their eyes. My friend Claudia who teaches culinary journalism, often comments about how the pupils in her class "all think they're gonna be Click here to read more from this article

Have you ever wondered what the difference between a great chef
and an ordinary chef is? How can one produce food recipes that
are remembered and another produce food that is quickly
forgotten? Disregarding all the jokes about never trusting a
skinny chef I can only say that the 80/20 rule applies in this
profession the same as in other professions. It is a fact of
life that 20% of lawyers, doctors, accountants, financial
planners etc. are outstanding; the other 80% are mediocre to
awful. The same applies to all trades and professions. So the
challenge vis-à-vis chefs is to find what differentiates the 20%
from the 80%.
