Honestly, if I can plan out a few meals ahead of time, I feel much more organized.

Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.

Organize yourself so you aren't struggling to shop at the last minute. When you have real food, it's very easy to cook.

As I mature as a chef, I no longer aim to pack multiple techniques and ingredients into a single dish. Realizing that restraint is more difficult, I find it often renders incredibly beautiful results.

These managers all know their onions and cut their cloth accordingly.

I would love to be better at cooking but I hate cleaning up afterwards. I love the process of putting everything together and the chance of getting it right or wrong but it takes ten minutes to eat it and then ages to clean.

I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean?

I'm kind of in between organized and messy, so if I have the right things to keep me organized, it's easier for me to stay that way. If I don't have the right tools, I'm a train wreck.

I've always done 20 things at once. It's my way of staying alive, not to keep one dish cooking, but several dishes going. And I'm pretty organized.

It's always good to go over the recipe beforehand, so you can easily think of the next thing that needs to be done.
