Commis Chef Review

I am a chef who focuses mainly on the larder section of our kitchen. Sometimes I will cook on main section and other times I will plate for my chefs. I also focus on desserts during service as well as the prep side of desserts.

I have learnt how to manage my stress during service, communicate with my team, how to control a kitchen, the paperwork that is needed to run a kitchen, how to manage stock and pricing and many other things.

I thoroughly enjoy it.

Very, there is a structured way of making sure you keep up with the programme, which ensures you aren't behind (this helps when you're having a busy period at work).

As much as they can provide, they help with travel to my chef academy classes, provide support with any extra information I need, they encourage me to try new things.

A lot. They ensure to check in when I'm falling behind and provide me with support to ensure I am able to catch up, they provide me with any extra information I may need, such as extra classes to dive deeper into subjects that I'm a little bit unsure about and they go the extra mile to help build my confidence when it comes to the end of my apprenticeship, knowing that I will have an exam and a professional discussion.

I think it has helped me massively. I am able to perform my daily tasks more mindfully knowing how important mundane things such as labels, cleaning and paperwork are. All of this helps to make sure I am keeping myself safe in my practises and daily tasks.

There are many social events at my place of work that help me to become closer to my colleagues and also help me to enjoy being at work more. It also helps when it comes to networking as I am occasionally introduced to people who may he good to contact further in my career.

Yes

It has helped me to improve my practises at work and has made me a better chef.
