Look Out Chef!!! VIP's

So there I am preparing vegetables, when I am still faces with an age old conundrum. After many years in the Kitchen, I am still to this day faced with the same sentence. No matter which country or how many kitchen you may have worked in, it is as International as I Love You. A Waiter or Manager coming to the kitchen or staff meeting to say these words “we have VIP guests”  which still counters the same answer, “All guests are VIP.” I have cooked in many countries for some of the World’s most influential and famous people and all guests are treated as VIP. All guests eating at our restaurants and hotels should feel like a VIP, if only just for an evening. Any paying guest is a VIP... Good food, good service and good atmosphere. Correct seasoning, presentation and consistency. It is not rocket science, which we may tackle in a later blog.

Schrodinger’s Kitchen

Upon recent conversations with a close work colleague about Schrodinger’s cat theory of how everyday object could explain quantum mechanics.  A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of the hour, one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges, and through a relay releases a hammer that shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The psi-function of the entire system would express this by having in it the living and dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts.

 This explained.

If you put a Chef or a team of Chefs  as we always travel in packs, in a Concrete room ( Kitchen) with Gas, Fire, Electricity and Water all running at the same time in high volume for hours on end in extreme heat,  under  the correct circumstances one could look at the Schrödinger theory as a Kitchen. On paper without looking in, are the Chef’s alive or dead. All these elements combined are a recipe for a real life quantum entanglement.

This maybe just a Chef’s perspective of over thinking a conversation over coffee, but to create good food many topics are talked about, on many levels that might spark a new creation. 

Live and Eat Well..

I Have a Blog

I have now moved in the the new millennium. A blog for those who choose to follow what a Chef is upto, or what things might be going through his mind. Hopefully some good pics of food I would like to eat, rethinking a classic or even just create an idea from a conversation with colleagues. Cooking and Creating good food is a passion not just a job. I have always been a firm beleiver in the old saying " The proof of the pudding is in the eating" Lets see where is take us. Bon Appetit
