Miss F, I love your posts. Will you be my new best friend?
I'm with the in-laws this morning after we had dinner together last night. The ratio was roughly 2 parts food to 5 parts wine
. I am not well at all today. But the food was delicious! Roast leg of lamb, can't beat it. 0 -

Thanks everyoneForgive my ignorance of commercial kitchen hierarchy, but what is a demi-pastry chef exactly, or a demi-"any kind of chef" for that matter? Oh, yes, congratulations too!
The levels of chefs go:
Commis chef (trainee)
Demi-chef De partie
Chef De Partie
Senior chef De partie
Sous chef
Senior Sous chef
Head/executive chef
So basically it's what you get when you're just finished your training, usually looking after a section but you would have someone above you for advice or help. It's the first role where you get a bit of responsibility and accountability.0 -

That's an amazing achievement, Pigwidgeon! Congratulations!! The very best of luck with itPigwidgeon wrote: »So I went for a trial in one of Gordon ramsay's restaurants yesterday (not a Michelin starred one) for a demi-pastry chef job. I got offered the job on the spot. It's about six grand more a year than I'm on here. I'm moving to London in a month. Fúck.
I've had a cold for over a week so lorrying lemons, ginger and honey into me like there's no tomorrow. And since I have no energy to do anything, I'm researching cafes and restaurants for all my upcoming trips. Including my holiday, which isn't until November :pac:0 -

Aren't you missing the whiskey?0 -
Huge congrats Pigwidgeon! Brilliant achievement.
An achievement on a much smaller scale: my roast dinner was a roaring success. Clean plates all round and massive brownie points to boot
