Cooking is a blend of science and art. There are techniques and skills that need to be learned, but it’s with these skills that you will create dishes that will impress. Being in the kitchen is all about creating new ideas and taking risks. A chef must always be willing to try something new. Creativity inspires a food’s taste and presentation, which is hugely important to the overall dining experience. This creativity needs to be passionate and everlasting, since you’ll be challenged daily in your life as a chef.
