Great Chefs, not so important is who they are but what made them great. It was about a year ago I started writing blogs, I say blogs because I have tried several sites that have not worked. When the idea hit me for this particular subject for my blog, I had been writing about Living in a Spiceless world, the DW does not like a lot of spices. After writing my last blog entry, I realized that my passion was the cooking, the reason I had that passion wasn’t the cooking per say but the pleasure I received from it, and I can hear you now pleasure from cooking are you nuts and if I had to admit it probably. Great Chefs, or who I think are great, would be Chefs like Emeril Lagasse, Gordon Ramsay, John Besh, Julia Childs, Paul Prudhomme, Justin Wilson, even Alton Brown (all thought he claims not to be a chef) and so many more that are not on television, nor have ever been heard of, but in their rights are some of the best chefs in the world. Is it that they have developed a pallet for taste unlike most? Is it they have a sixth sense when it come to cooking? Is it professional training that has made them great? You can answer yes to any of these and you would be only half right. Where did these chef get the passion to cook like they did or do, where did the love come from? I think I have found it, not at a school for chefs, not at a restaurant cooking on the line, not at a stove sweating away my life but it comes from when you serve the food you just cooked not for your pleasure but for the person who you are serving it to and they put that fork full in their mouth and you see that ever so sweet smile roll across the lips and the glistening light in their eyes of nothing but total pleasure and you know it does not matter what it was seasoned with, it does not matter how it was cooked, or what it was cooked on but the fact it was done right and done with nothing but to bring pleasure to someone on the other end of that fork or spoon. The great chefs understand that, that is what makes them great they cook for us, not for them, even the ill tempered ones, in the end want to know was my food cooked to your liking.
