A Day in the Life of a Chef

A chef’s typical day starts with a quick briefing with the Head/Sous Chef and the surrounding kitchen team. At this meeting, particular tasks will be assigned to each chef and team member. This includes a quick review of the previous day’s performance where areas of improvement are identified and discussed. Your role could also involve ordering cooking ingredients, making menus and talking to colleagues and guests. As you would expect, the busiest periods being a chef are during the lunch, dinner hours and at the weekends, which means you will have to adjust your social life to some extent. However, working as a chef is a highly sociable occupation itself, and the flexible working hours make this lifestyle desirable for many who prefer everyday not to be the same day.
