The one product or food item that I love to use is pasta because I know more about using pasta such as spaghetti or an Alfredo dish. Pasta is very easy to make and use at home or at the kitchen because its such an easy process. All that you would have to do is grab some flower and some eggs to make the dough. Roll the dough out after kneeing, but in the mean time could make sauce while kneeing, and then cut the flat dough into strips like spaghetti noodles. After cook the noodles in salted water for 4 minutes. Its such an easy process to make at home but if I were to use this process in the kitchen I would have to make the dough ahead of time so then it be more faster. But the unique thing about pasta is that it could be mixed with many different kinds of sauces such as ravioli, tortellini, Alfredo, spaghetti.

Spaghetti is my main meal though because it is one of the first meal I had ever made. My dad was the one who had taught me his way of making the sauce, which I consider very tasty. It is also very cheap to buy the noodles and sauce but cheaper to make from scratch, but I got'a say that it is worth every bit of your money to make spaghetti at home. The unique thing is that people could have fun and experiment with the sauce by adding all kinds of vegetables and spices. But I must admit that Spaghetti is one of my favorite dishes out of them all.

Writting in a profesional world #7

If I wanted to excel in the cooking industry I would need good writing skills, which would be very helpful to use, to write out procedures on how to cook certain types of foods or maybe put together a fancy menu. If i where to become a great well-known cook I would possibly be writing a cook book which will be needing high writing skills to establish.
Having bad writing skills could result in not getting hired or selected because of the poor resumes or flyer's that the person had put out. No one wants to read a book or a sheet that has poor writing because its hard to read steps if the steps doesn't make sense. The key objective is to be able to write out procedures clearly not poorly. But on the contrinary I'm considering on becoming a chef not an owner of a restaurant so what I really need is good communication skills because one could not work in a kitchen without the help of communicating with other individuals. A chef who can communicate his requirements well is one who will not only teach their staff as efficiently as possible but keep their staff as well. Communication skills are key components in the role of a chef.
