Being in love with a profession starts from the basic thing that comprises it.
The same principle goes with being a chef.
Loving the way a chef picks the best ingredients, cooks food, and even how he presents the food are the important simple elements how a person can become a chef.
Everyday learning through experiences and regular training of the newest trend in cooking are also part of a chef's responsibilities, surviving in the real world.
If you are a person who wants to become a chef, where do you think you should start? What type of education should you take with you until you become a chef for real restaurants and customers? A person who has big dreams isn't a problem at all.
There is no issue to that; but wouldn't it be great if you start your way to the bottom and give the best of what you have to offer? Start from your home kitchen.
It may not be much and you may think that the people who will be eating whatever it is that you have prepared are probably not going to give you an honest judgment since they are your family and friends.
But know this, the steps that matter to becoming a successful chef later on is that you get a good understanding of how strenuous a chef's job can be.
From this point, learn how to stand on your two feet (literally) for hours.
Clean the ingredients with your own two hands; grind, chop, slice or mince them all.
And don't forget to clean your area as you progress with your cooking.
This is what all professional chefs do in the kitchen.
All these things are a chef's responsibility and it is a lot better to train yourself the hard way in the very own comfort of your home kitchen.
You wont regret it.
Once you have decided to take on the profession for good, enter a good culinary school.
You will find out that the basic training that you have done at home are the same tasks that you will be doing in school; only that, there are more practical tests that you have to pass.
But sure, go ahead and start small for you will never know which big dreams it could bring to you.
