I suppose your security is your success and your key to success is your fine palate.
Cooking a dish is fine; cooking it under pressure is a completely different ballgame.
I shoot from the hip.
Chefs don't do ponytails and we shouldn't do them because I guarantee that whenever there's a discovery of hair in the food, it's guaranteed it's from the chef's ponytail.
Being a chef never seems like a job, it becomes a true passion.
However amazing a dish looks, it is always the taste that lingers in your memory. Family and friends will appreciate a meal that tastes superb-even if you've brought the pan to the table.
