Obituary of a Cook

Obituary of a cook A famous French cook has passed away this is sad of course, but it shows how the world of catering has changed character. From an unshaven backroom man to a leader but only a leader in his restaurant for cooks holds no other power. I enjoyed that he once threw a plate of spaghetti after Chef Ramsey for not making ravioli right, mind with a master like that no wonder George Ramsey swears a lot. But hang on a bit, if we elevate cooks to the status of world leaders of great importance then we should stop and think of the millions of women who cook for their family and do so by being economical with their food so it can be used the next day. Of course, there are millions of women in our modern society for whom the sight of a carrot or a potato leaves them flabbergasted, but as the fairy tale says need makes a naked woman knit a blouse.
