Hello people…. i know everyones enjoying the monsoon season… and so am i also along with my cousin sisters wedding…. im enjoying thoroughly… well i have a frnd named Nirmal and he has to say something to as many people as he can… please listen to him and respond…..this blog is in his words…. thank u all
 
"BON APPETITE
 

“Voila it is awesome”! Is the line which comes out our mouths when we eat something delicious that soothens our taste buds. We all are made up with passion and one of our passion is towards good and great food.

 

Friends am not here to talk about various foods and its tastes and its invention. Am here to tell you people out there that the men behind cooking these delicacies are common people whom we and the world should know as CHEF’S.

 

Chefs are those people who in today’s world are highly underestimated and demoralized as normal cooks or bawarchis. I do agree that some have acclaimed celebrity status but then it is not through their right way to show the world what it takes to be a chef.

 

Once you are a chef you are a celebrity instead you calling people, people want to meet you. Any tom dick and harry can buy and wear the uniform of a chef but to maintain it only a chef can do it. It is the love of food that pulls in men of such honour to come forward and serve the culinary art to the world. There wouldn’t be any restaurants or any hotels without chefs and same is vice versa.

 

I myself am a chef working for Le Royal Meridien Abu Dhabi (uae). My name is Nirmal Menon and am from India (Mumbai). It was my dream to be a chef and am happy I achieved it with the basic and I have still a long ladder to climb and I shall do it but by understanding the pain and love a chef takes on each step towards the top. We all go to a hotel for a function we see the chefs next to the buffet to serve us or to keep watch over the food and to refill them at required intervals. Those chefs have smiles always on their face which makes them look fresh, but actually behind that face is a man who is tired of working hump teen hours to get a smile over our faces.

 

It is right a chef implements over then his required hours each day and even though he is paid for his extra hours it is wasted over treatment over his aching body. Why don’t we all understand their feelings, why doesn’t the chef association look into these matters more seriously? Way back in abroad chefs are provided with low salaries and accommodations. But it is of no use as the salary they get they can’t support them selves and their families back in India. Chefs are treated miserably abroad and it is all because they don’t get good salary and breaks in this country which boasts as one of the world’s largest hotel hub.

 

 If it is so then why is all the chefs abroad and why there aren’t any salary increment? There is no one to appeal or reach out on behalf of these people. Remember folks they also are humans and need love and support don’t deny them. Whenever you eat in a restaurant or a hotel see to it that the food you eat is to be finished and the tip for the food must be to the chef directly by calling him out to the restaurant and making four people getting his notice as a chef’s uniform is the most attractive in the world.

 

So folks remember to respect them and love them as they are like babies the more you pamper the better quality you get. They never have a life of their own as they don’t have time. But they got to beat time in making the best food which will raise them against time. So spend time over meeting these maestros’s of culinary and know them and help their voice reach the world. This is not a plea from a chef to the other chef’s in the world but a respect from a chef to the people asking them to all respect and give recognition to these maestro’s of this fabulous art known as culinary art.
