hey all, im dave...

[the_seraphim]

right... well... im 19 and i havent been a chef for long, only a few months now, but i started straight into the fire so to speak... i work on the bar in a restaurant, and i asked the kitchen manager if i could get some training in the kitchen...

i love cooking and have been for years at home anyway... i cant sleep if i dont have a proper evening meal so i kinda had to learn...

anyway i found it really easy to get on with stuff and now 3 months into my "training" im being left alone in the kitchen to manage (while its quieter)

wow... ive learned so much, got a couple of burns to prove i work hard, only thing i havent quite figured out yet is how to cook steaks properly (the grill is really awkward to use, it burns the outside while leaving the middle rare) just a matter of whacking the meat thinner to start with i guess

just opened my xmas pressies... to find a set of chef whites and a set of knives... well balanced knives at that! (i may have looked the set up online, and i know they were expensive, but dont tell anyone i know k? :P) im off sick at the moment recovering from surgery on my knee... lateral release, really painfull! im just so bored now,


also... im cooking christmas dinner this year... hehe... im gonna don my full chef whites so i look good for my gran, she hasnt seen me wearing them and i think it would be a nice treat to see her grandson doing something he really enjoys.

right... well, that about sums me up!... lol, if any of you are ever in the studley area and looking for a good meal... look me up ill take good care of ya XxX

Turn your grill down if your steaks are burning.

Hi Seraphim,
I agree with your flame being to hot for your steaks. As one who raises beef... the thought of pounding them thin makes me cringe!
I also have to agree with the siliconemaster! I LOVE that stuff!!!! I use it all the time & am so glad it was invented!
Sorry to hear of the knee problem! Healing is quick though... been there.
I think it's wonderful you wanted to dress in your whites for your grandma! How thoughtful!
Good luck to you in your cooking endeavors!
