POV: Head Chef at a Top London Restaurant

[Scam]

Sounds like a clickbaity title, but it's not

I found this very interesting. Having got hooked on Kenji's (of Serious Eats) POV cooks at home, I can see a lot of similarities in the way they move and handle the food. Also it's clear that if you're a wannabe chef at home then you need about 20 stainless steel bowls, 30 odd stainless steel prep platters (someone can tell me what they're actually called) and a lot of spoons?

Anyway, I thought it was an interesting watch.

You might have 10 different dishes on at once, all with 4-5 components and different cook times.

I do find it incredible how he just shouts table numbers/orders at people and it's just done, perfect timing etc. If someone shouts (tells) any sort of lengthy info at me, I'm lost after 6 words

Did the waitress bring him milk when he asked for double cream? And he used it in the sauce?… wtf

I assumed it was a catering size bottle of cream, which to you and I probably looks like a bottle of milk.

As for your second point, it certainly helps to be organised. But it depends what I’m cooking. Stir fried I definitely wouldn’t start until everything was ready.. but if you’re starting something with onions, carrot and celery then I’d happily get the onions going slowly whilst I chop a carrrot and celery. At home I guess it really depends what you’re cooking.

Will look into more of these for sure.

Looks like they've done a few more on their channel actually. https://www.youtube.com/@FallowLondon
