I always tell people working as a chef or a cook is not at all like on tv. You spend like 4 hours cooking and the rest of your shift is cleaning, prep work, dishes and paper work

Baking is not 90 percent measuring. Its 90 percent forming and 100 sleep deprivation.

First of all baking is 90% waiting on it to come from the oven and then waiting for it to cool lol.
Cooking is 90% chopping. So. Much. Chopping.

Cleaning. As an aside, my other hobby, crocheting/knitting, is 90% weaving ends and I hate it so much.

40% prepping, 10% planning, 5% menu work, 10% cogs and labor worry, 40% working the line when someone calls out, 50% pleasure, 50% pain, 15% making an order list to remember next day.

90% researching, testing, failing, retesting. My life was one big fucking episode of Test Kitchen
