Watching 'The Taste' and my wife and I have a question. Is there a distinction between calling someone a 'chef' and a 'cook'?

Posted by Volnelk Jan 2 '14, 18:48

To me, it sounds like a Chef prepares and designs a meal a Cook sounds like they warm things up.

I've noticed that on Chopped, they always say 'thank you, chef' and never 'cook'.

But when these judges are talking I each other they throw both terms around.

Just wondered if anyone in the know had some input. I've never remotely worked in a kitchen.

chef is basically just the head cook, the one what runs the kitchen....nm - x Jan 2, 18:51 1

In reality show terms the difference is Top Chef features chefs and Hell's Kitchen features cooks. -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Jan 2, 18:50
