| education to become a chef: The French Laundry Cookbook Thomas Keller, 2016-10-25 DIVIACP Award Winner 2019 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the acclaimed French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley—“the most exciting place to eat in the United States” (The New York Times). The most transformative cookbook of the century celebrates this milestone by showcasing the genius of chef/proprietor Thomas Keller himself. Keller is a wizard, a purist, a man obsessed with getting it right. And this, his first cookbook, is every bit as satisfying as a French Laundry meal itself: a series of small, impeccable, highly refined, intensely focused courses. Most dazzling is how simple Keller's methods are: squeegeeing the moisture from the skin on fish so it sautées beautifully; poaching eggs in a deep pot of water for perfect shape; the initial steeping in the shell that makes cooking raw lobster out of the shell a cinch; using vinegar as a flavor enhancer; the repeated washing of bones for stock for the cleanest, clearest tastes. From innovative soup techniques, to the proper way to cook green vegetables, to secrets of great fish cookery, to the creation of breathtaking desserts; from beurre monté to foie gras au torchon, to a wild and thoroughly unexpected take on coffee and doughnuts, The French Laundry Cookbook captures, through recipes, essays, profiles, and extraordinary photography, one of America's great restaurants, its great chef, and the food that makes both unique. One hundred and fifty superlative recipes are exact recipes from the French Laundry kitchen—no shortcuts have been taken, no critical steps ignored, all have been thoroughly tested in home kitchens. If you can't get to the French Laundry, you can now re-create at home the very experience Wine Spectator described as “as close to dining perfection as it gets.” |

| education to become a chef: Rebel Chef Dominique Crenn, Emma Brockes, 2021-06-01 “Dominique Crenn is a hero to so many of us, both inside and out of the restaurant industry. She has unlimited courage to always follow her own path, to carve her own way in the world. This book, and Dominique’s whole life, show that everything and anything is possible if you believe in yourself and you keep pushing forward, always forward.” —José Andrés The inspiring and deeply personal memoir from highly acclaimed chef Dominique Crenn When Dominique Crenn decided to become a chef, she knew it was a near impossible dream in France where almost all restaurant kitchens were run by men. She left her home and everything she knew to move to San Francisco, and almost thirty years later was awarded three Michelin stars in 2018 for her influential restaurant Atelier Crenn, the first female chef in the United States to receive this honor—no small feat for someone who hadn’t been formally trained. In Rebel Chef, Crenn tells of her untraditional coming-of-age as a chef. Adopted as a toddler, she didn’t resemble her parents, and was haunted by a past she knew nothing about. But after years of working to fill this blank space, Crenn embraced the power her history gave her to be whoever she wants to be. In this disarmingly honest look at one woman’s evolution from a daring young chef to a respected activist, Crenn reflects on the years she spent working in the male-centric world of professional kitchens and tracks her career from struggling cook to running one of the world’s most celebrated restaurants. At once a tale of personal discovery and a tribute to unrelenting determination, Rebel Chef is the story of one woman making a place for herself in the kitchen, and in the world. |

Chef and writer Samin Nosrat has taught everyone from professional chefs to middle school kids to author Michael Pollan to cook using her revolutionary, yet simple, philosophy.

| education to become a chef: The Classroom Chef John Stevens, Matt Vaudrey, 2016-03-30 I just don't get math. If you're a math teacher, you probably can't count the number of times you've heard students, parents, and even fellow teachers make a disparaging statement about your subject. As math teachers and instructional coaches, John Stevens and Matt Vaudrey know how discouraging it feels to look out into a classroom full of disinterested and confused students. But they also know how amazing it feels to see comprehension dawn in their students' eyes - when a concept suddenly makes sense and math becomes meaningful. In The Classroom Chef, John and Matt share their secret recipes, ingredients, and tips for serving up lessons that engage students and help them get math. You can use these ideas and methods as-is, or better yet, tweak them and create your own enticing educational meals. The message the authors want to convey is that, with imagination and preparation, every teacher can be a Classroom Chef. Far from bland or boring, the lessons and ideas in The Classroom Chef spark curiosity-and occasionally bewilderment and awe (yes, in math class). After all, mullets, ziplines, and sharks aren't standard topics for typical math classes. But maybe they should be. |

| education to become a chef: How To Become A Chef, How To Be Highly Successful As A Chef, And How To Earn Revenue As A Chef Dr. Harrison Sachs, 2020-03-18 This essay sheds light on how to become a chef, explicates how to be highly successful as a chef, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a chef. While becoming a chef may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a chef. Much to the relief of prospective chefs, it is possible to become a chef in time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become a chef is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective chef can follow to become a chef is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of a chef. Chef skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of March of 2020, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population are employed as chefs. in the U.S., for instance, less than 128,700 are employed as chefs even though the US population is comprised of over 328,000,000 people as of March of 2020. As of March of 2020, less than .0392% of people in the U.S. are employed as “chefs and head cooks”. This means that out of 2,549 random people in the U.S., about only one person at most would be employed as a chef as of March of 2020. As of March of 2020, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys as an aggregate in the U.S. than chefs in the U.S. even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become a chef. As of March of 2020, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a chef. As of March of 2020, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more chefs, especially since they are able to prepare meals for their clients. Clients prefer to delegate the task of meal preparation to chefs who are able to prepare meals on their behalf. Chefs who prepare healthy meals that are subsumed under a longevity promoting, salubrious, wholesome, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, antiglycation, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet are able to ease the lives of their clients. This is because preparing healthy meals that are subsumed under a longevity promoting, salubrious, wholesome, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, antiglycation, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet can be a time-draining and stressful undertaking. Even though certain people are effusive about preparing meals, not every person has an affinity for preparing meals since concocting meals cannot only be time-consuming and stressful undertaking, but can also be fraught with inconveniences. Chefs are not only expected to be competent cooks, but are also expected to be leaders in the kitchen and producers of appetizing meals. Chefs are capable of devising recipes for palatable appetizers and sumptuous entrees that are subsumed under a longevity promoting, salubrious, wholesome, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, antiglycation, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet. A chef is expected to not only possess creative prowess and extraordinary dexterity, but is also expected to have stellar leadership skills and robust communication skills, especially if he is an executive chef who leads a sizeable team in a kitchen of a restaurant. In contexts in which a chef leads a sizeable team in a kitchen of a restaurant, he will not only be expected to oversee the restaurant operations that transpire in a kitchen setting, but may also be expected to train the cooks of the restaurant on how to expeditiously prepare menu items. In contexts in which a chef leads a sizeable team in a kitchen of a restaurant he may also be expected to engage in ingredient inventory management by keeping track of the quantity of ingredients in the kitchen of the restaurant and by placing orders for ingredients that are low in quantity or depleted in quantity so that the inventory of ingredients can be replenished as needed. Chefs are not pigeonholed into working for restaurant companies. Chefs are at liberty to be “self-employed and work on a contractual basis”. |

As the number of gourmet home kitchens burgeons, so does the number of home cooks who want to become proficient users of the professional-caliber equipment they own. And of all kitchen skills, perhaps the most critical are those involving the proper use of knives.

Now, Mastering Knife Skills brings Weinstein’s well-honed knowledge to home cooks everywhere.

Extras include information on knife construction, knife makers and types, knife maintenance and safety, and cutting boards. “In the old days, when kitchens weren’t equipped with a lot of fancy gadgets, a skilled chef needed only one tool to ply his trade: a sharp knife. This book will introduce novice cooks to and reacquaint experienced chefs with everything they need to know about a good knife and the art of using it.” —Cecilia Chiang, James Beard Award–winning restaurateur and author of The Seventh Daughter “This beautifully illustrated book, written with passion and precision, minces no words in guiding the reader to choose, maintain, and use a knife. Indispensable for anyone who prepares food, it has taught me how to cut produce much more efficiently.” —David Karp, Fruit Detective |
