Task (3):Confessions of a chef

Chillies,lettuce,cucumber and pickles are all I have to face daily.Meat,fishes,vegetables too.That is not all,the worse is scolding,screaming and ranting from my boss.

Currently,I don't know is this what I really want.The head chef would scold me even for the simplest reason.He have to understand that we do not not have enough helpers in the kitchen.So,there is a little time constraint.He always rushes us to cook the food quicky.If there is not enough ingredients,he will just ask us to cook without replenishing it.I believe real ingedients is what that will pull our customers back to our restaurant.In additon,the customers would also have a good impression of our restaurant.I think all he thinks about is having money and making profit.

Since young I had a passion for cooking.Cooking is not barely cooking with your hands,but with your heart.Cooking also goes along with your mood.If you have a foul mood,the food you cook will never turn out great.Vice versa,if you have a good mood that day,the food you cook will turn out great.

Sometimes i really run out of idea when he pressures us to think of a menu or new dishes.I guess just have to bear with him.However,what matters most is the customers honest feedback.A compliment can spur me on.Critics make me feel bad.There was this man who criticise my dishes.I must admit that I was bothered by it.I was utterly disappointed with myself.Thinking back of it, I am glad he did so.It gave me a chance to improve for the better and prove my worth.

My dishes are not purely for eating and enjoyment.It serves for other purposes too.It cheered my friend up,a man proposed to his girlfriend with it and of course with a ring.It holds significant meaning to me as it reminded me of my mum.
