What sort of qualifications do you need to work in the food industry? A entry level baker and entry level chef job opened up nearby where I live. If I show up only ever having cooked for myself will I look like an idiot?

If you're not an alcoholic junkie thief you're qualified for something, have fun

>>19178326 (OP)

start with dish washing move up

But is there a certificate I need or something?

Akchually, those are all prerequisites for food service employment.

if there's time to lean there's time to clean learn that secret to everything

There's no such thing as an "entry level chef".

Don't fucking steal, the other shit you can kinda skate on, but don't steal

Your certificate is an address that's not a halfway home

no, turnover in those places is generally pretty abysmal and your coworkers will be on pills 50% of the time and high 75-100% of the time, so if you're not on pills you can probably learn the ropes pretty quickly, just don't be a retard

most successful chefs learn by doing. take the job and get some kitchen experience

are you saying culinary schools are geared towards fools?

and they're money soon part

t.I'm also everyone else telling you go work, schools suck unless you already know what you're going there to learn

Not him but no, they work, but practical experience will probably get you 95% of everything you need without having to go to school

You don't need to be able to name every different type of spatula to use them

Okay I applied

I hope this isn't a bad idea

I've only ever cooked for myself and a few others before

Is it a realistic goal to go from working fast food to becoming a sous chef at a reputable restaurant within 2 years?

How do I be good at cooking

Yeah but it will be sous in name only

You'll be putting in time not ideas

Write your ideas down, they don't suck, and keep notes on all your recipes

Someone will appreciate your ideas one day, but probably not the people you will work for tomorrow

KEEP NOTES, STEAL RECIPES even if they're bad and you'll laugh at them later, which you will

Don't expect to stay in kitchens and always keep a backup plan around, like bus driver

Bus drivers also can't do drugs or drive drunk

Don't do lots of drugs, don't work drunk, and don't steal, and you'll be golden

>t.I just didn't have a backup plan, now I'm a house husband, there are NEETs who make it seem great, they're fags, I have to talk to my wife about buying pants

>she's in favor of pants, but it's humiliating, and I just got $300 boots

Take advantage of your youth, strength, and time, cook amazing things, and progress

improvise with limited ingredients and satiate the clients recall the story of the nacho

>improvise with limited ingredients

Throw salt and pepper on everything?

highly helpful technique but not the be all end all

This, it's better to develop those habits after being an experienced worker. Give it a couple weeks at least.

Don't do it

You'll fucking hate it

Seems to me like there are lots of lesbian chefs on TV. Become a lesbian.

Who are these, the two fat ladies ver 1?
