Even if you don't think you can cook well, you can cook better than the food industry.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
While some people may think being a chef only entails making enticing dishes and pushing the culinary boundaries, being a part of the food industry involves much more.
Usually, one's cooking is better than one thinks it is.
Most cooks try to learn by making dishes. Doesn't mean you can cook. It means you can make that dish. When you can cook is when you can go to a farmers market, buy a bunch of stuff, then go home and make something without looking at a recipe. Now you're cooking.
Cooking is in an honest profession where you cannot hide and let others do the work for you. You have to show up, work hard and prove you can do it faster and better. And find a mentor who will recognize your talent and push you in the right direction.
One thing that improved my cooking skills was being a poor student in California... If you don't have much money, you have to learn to cook.
Being a cook doesn't necessarily mean you are a competitor.
My daughters think I am a terrible cook, but I try really hard. I would really like to be a better cook.
To become a good cook is to know yourself, and I, at this point, know myself. I know myself, and I know the cook I want to be and the cook I am striving to be.
I think anybody can cook if they take the time.
You don't come into cooking to get rich.
