Remind me again why you work there?

Cos the quality of the food is good, the menu is seasonal as well as creative. cos I love cooking a simple steak a well as try and learn new tecniques.
I think my head chef is just fabulous as a person as well as a cook
Where do u work?
Any special course in recognising people through somebodys comments?
I dont wanna sound mean but u r nobody to tell me to find a job cos u dont know where i work and what i do
even if u r the moderator

I wasn't being fecetious when I asked why you work there, Cinnamon. Sorry for sounding harsh; I still get very frustrated at some of the attitudes in our industry, not from people like you but people like your chef. But I don't know him from Jack, so sorry. His flavour combinations are atrocious; that's not fact that's my opinion, and that of many well seasoned professionals on this board. Take it or leave it. What I find disturbing is that you feel you have to ask us before you ask your chef. What does that say about you? About your chef?

It's never a good strategy to make yourself into something you are not just to appear better at work. Eventually it shows and makes you look bad. A good working/learning relationship with your employer is one that is mutually beneficial.

Sorry if my comments were misconstrued.

is ok, dont worry.
I am 23 years old cook in london.I work in a five star hotel in central london.
I finally made the risotto and was nice and colrful.I made a ea puree, freeze it in a pacojet container and then use the puree in my risotto.do u know what the pacojet is? it helps getting a bright colour and a lovely soft and smooth texture.I do ask questions and when the chef changes the menu he sit down with each one of us and tell us about the dishes, what he expects and how he wanna serve it.We do ask a lot of questions, and i don't think I am the first chef who sits down and do a bit of research from time to time, and I found this website a little ago and I loved it. I thought I'd just ask to see what tips or advice I could get.
