Kannada Chef

A chef literally means ‘head of the kitchen’ and is a person who excels in culinary skills of a particular cuisine. Every country in the world has a different style of cooking. In our own country, the way food is cooked varies from one region to another. An Indian Chef will be proficient in all Indian cookeries, be it South Indian, North Indian, North Eastern or the Gujarati and Rajasthani delicacies. To become a chef, one needs to obtain a formal education in culinary arts for 2-4 years, where they are taught about various cuisines and also about their conduct.

All chefs have a uniform which consists of a tall hat with a heat outlet called toque, a necktie, an apron, a white double-breasted jacket to prevent injuries to the body, and steel toe-capped shoes to prevent injuries to the feet. Not everybody knows, but there is a hierarchy among chefs. At the top is chef de cuisine, who is the head chef. Next is sous chef who manages the kitchen staff and is responsible for cleanliness. A chef de partie looks after a particular area of cooking process whereas Commis is the newbie who learns the working of a kitchen from the chef de partie. Many established chefs have now taken to hosting their own TV shows and teaching viewers their magical recipes. Here are some popular Kannada chefs who host their own cooking programs.
