A Day in a Life of a 16 Year Old Chef

Cooking is something that has been around since the beginning and something that we cannot afford to loose. Cooking is what makes us human, what provides us with the right nutrients and what keeps us from falling into the industries trap. Michael Pollan’s The Cooking Animal reinforced my belief on the importance of home cooked meals and also expands it.

He has appeared in shows such as “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations”, “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown”, and “Top Chef,” and published works such as “Don’t Eat Before Reading This”, “Medium Raw”, and “The Nasty Bits.” Trained at Vassar College the Culinary Institute of America, Bourdain is known for his love of food.

In the chapter, Bourdain discusses his trip to France with his family, and how the trip transformed from hating the exotic food to loving it. Through his structure, descriptive language, and childhood stories,

The study begins by explaining how much the residents of Gourmand love good food. They love food so much that that over time, a commission of distinguished chefs had decided that not any one should be capable of opening up a restaurant. If a restaurant was to be open, a chef would have to have 21 years of training, attend a prestigious school, and obtain a license to become a chef. These guidelines would ensure that when a resident would go to a restaurant, the food would be good. The first-class quality of food consequently rose the prices of restaurant meals to become very expensive.

Hello I am Gage Malloway this essay will be explaining why i want to be in the food industry.

            All things changed my sophomore year with the decision to take culinary. I had finally found my niche in high school. Here I met the infamous Chef Rick! Chef is definitely not like any other teacher, he has no filter, which surprising is probably the reason that he is one of the best teachers at Sickles. He is real and up front and will make you become a hard worker. Culinary has taught me more about life than any other class I’ve taken. “Never be

She has always had a passion for cooking at an early age of ten. She has always cooked every meal her mother she would ask. Without hesitation, Kiara would agree to go spice it up in the kitchen. She dreams to pursue her dream career in the city that she calls home: New York City. Also, Kiara hopes to open up her private restaurant serving unique savory dishes.

Sarah’s short story is about a young boy who has dreams of becoming a professional chef.

Things I would like to own: I would like to own a house in California. My dad came from California, from a city close to Los Angeles. He lived in a city right next to the Pacific Ocean. My dream cars are the Lamborghini Aventador and the Nissan GTR and the Scion FRS. I hope to own one of these cars in my lifetime. I believe that if you work hard enough in life that you can accomplish anything. This is something that has been taught in my family since I can remember. As I have said before my dream is to open a restaurant and if I am successful at it then I want to open up a chain of restaurants. I would like to have my restaurants expand to Germany and Holland where my family has originated. I still haven’t got a chance to visit these countries, but I plan to in the near future. I also plan on sending my mom and my dad back to Holland and Germany for a vacation. They haven’t been in Germany and Holland since they were teenagers. These are some of the things that I would like to own in my life.

Because of passion with cooking and dream to be a chef, I have read a lot of cookbooks, regional culinary books and books about famous chefs, some of them are interesting but none of them was attracted to me the most. Normally, I just found some my favorite recipes in such books. However, “Letters to a young chef”, a book contains a collection of letters which Chef Daniel Boulud wrote to Alex Lee whom worked alongside Daniel for ten years as a passionate young cook, truly brings me desire to make my dream come true as much as help me to broaden my knowledge about culinary arts.

The Making of a Chef was a fascinating book that alternated my perspective on cooking giving me a clearer view of working through a culinary program. Michael Ruhlman gave readers a glimpse of life within the Culinary Institute of America, which is the most critical culinary school in the United States. Nothing is left to instinct or assumed information, everything is shown whether it is with culinary maths or precisely how you lay out unresolved issues for the ideal stock. Everything was just striven to be excellent, not good, nor O.K., but miraculously perfect.

Culinary art is a momentous part of my life.When I was around the age of nine I was living with both my mom and dad. I was always in the kitchen helping my mom cook dinner. I made baked ziti, empanadas, sweet potato pie, and other foods.When I was in high school, I lived with my father,and after my older siblings grew up it was just me and my little sister so I was responsible for cooking the meals. I was cooking for my family an average of seven days a week and I was never tired or bored, I enjoyed it. I developed a strong passion for culinary arts. I am passionate about it because it excites me, inspires me, and encourages me to open a restaurant.

I’ve always had a passion for cooking. When I was a little girl I loved to cook and enjoyed learning about all sort of cuisines. Today, I am still in the kitchen and every chance I get, I cook. Some days it isn’t even fancy or a hard recipe. Some days it’s a classic, but something that I’ve created. Cooking is my time to be me. It’s the “art form” I pride myself at being good at and I don’t have to try (unlike drawing…not so good at that!). Like a child getting a new toy, I get excited when I discover new foods and ingredients. My mind feels “at home” when it’s in the process of creating in the kitchen. It’s fun getting the ingredients, piling them all on the counter, then chopping, stirring, adding a pinch of this and a splash of that. Then I have to wait for everything to cook. Finally the reward of my creativity is taken out of the oven and placed on a plate. The creative work I’ve done is fully realized when I can share my work with others.
