    YOUNG ASPIRING CHEFS PLEASE READ…I’m 63 years Old , retired British Head Chef 🇬🇧 due too a TBI injury I have not cooked for ten years , but I still love too watch skilled innovative artisans at work , please head this one piece of advice , when you start out , work in the best possible kitchens you can find , it will be maybe as an intern at first for little money , or not being paid for overtime, but as you develop you will earn good money and you will get an amazing career ahead of you , you can rarely do this if you start in mediocre establishments, always strive too learn and respect your teachers of cooking , I look back and only wish I did the same , I did ok for myself until the accident that ended my career , but as I look back I only wish I headed this advice , as for this young Sous chef , I am so envious of you , and wish you well .
