Culinary Artists? The Great Debate.
by Krazy Chef Kurt Upton
| continued... Sure not all restaurants can have full artistic freedom, but taking extra time to plan and pair foods is an art in itself. Menu planning, structure and general atmosphere reflects the chef's artistic imagination and value. Food pairing, menu balance and overall knowledge also reflect art. The ability to create appealing dishes, takes skill, knowledge and self confidence. Cooking in any "classical" way takes skill and a bit of art. Fusing styles is an expression of a chef's skill and art abilities. The culinary business is a hard job to stick with and make a career out of, but go strong and set goals. In closing, every chef has their own opinions on this subject. Mine was expressed here based on my own knowledge and experiences. |
