cook vs. chef

[alwayz_yummy]

my analysis:

cook - mailagay mo sa plato/mangkok then serve ok na yun...busog ka sa konting pera, may extrang soup-soupan at padagdag ng onti ng kanin/sauce. nagluluto ng kahit anu maisuot.

chef - dapat may arte sa paglagay sa plato/magkok...may presentation..and di ma-seserve kung walang garnish! halos bite serving lang, mahal pa...laging may uniporme at yung mataas na hat.

well, major difference para din yang driver.... may nag-aral at nagpakadalubhasa(chef), meron nagaral ng sarili, or informal training(cook)

This is according to a friend who studied culinary arts.
Here in the Philippines:
Chef- one has to be an HR grad, then pursue further culinary studies.
Cook- short-courses on culinary.

chef-one of the luxuries the rich can afford
cook-i guess anybody could be a cook as long as you know how to cook :D

Don't tell me lahat ng cook sa mga bahay ay nakapagaral ng culinary arts

totoo ba to...napanood ko ung isang episode ng (Gordon) Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares...he mentioned something to the effect that a cook cooks for only one table at a time, pero ung chef can cook for several tables.

totoo ba to? if yes, my hats off to the professional chefs out there.

galing ba kamo ke gordon ramsey? wala namang kwenta ang kamoteng yun...walang alam gawin kundi mag mura.. buti inde sumasakit sa tyan ang mga kumakain sa mga niluluto nyang nga PUTAhe....
