You like food. You enjoy seeing people eat what you create. You know that good food is both about how it looks on the plate as well the preparation and ingredients. You know what makes food taste great, using your knowledge of spices and combinations of elements to create, concoct and cook all things edible in our lives. Without you, we'd eat microwave dinners. You like that.

Chefs and head cooks are preparers, seasoners and cookers of all things food related. Chefs and head cooks measure, mix, and cook food according to recipes.
