Howard’s Answer
You need to practice basic skills in the kitchen. Knife cuts, egg cooking, saute, baking, organization and sanitation. These will help you be a cook. To be a chef you also need to learn managment skills. Purchasing, food cost, team work, menu writting and recipe development.
Work and get experiance. Go to school to learn as much as you can. Then practice. You can not replace experiance. I hope this helps you.

Hi Jayshaun, I completely agree with Howard’s response. You need to first start with the culinary basics, knife skills, sauce makings ect - along with learning food costs, ordering ect. As a Private Chef, I have a different perspective as I don’t run kitchens, I work privately for clients. Doing the actual work is really the only way to hone your skills, and find out what your love in this industry is going to be! There are so many types of chefs- do what you love, the rest will naturally evolve. I wish you all the success!
