Martha: Chef

Chef

How did you get the job?
I was always interested in cooking and preparing meals. So when I was 22 years old, I decided to open my own little restaurant.
What do you like most about it?
I really like that I can try anything. Also cooking is a kind of creativity. You can experiment and try something new.
What is an average day like?
Everyday I get up early in the morning to buy the freshest vegetable, and fruits. Then I spend nearly the whole day in the kitchen and after the opening hours my staff and I have to clean everything. So I am always very late at home.
Have you made any sacrifies to do this job?
Sure, I have less free time and I will probably become fat  if I try everything. So I am thinking about doing some sport, but actually there is no time.
What would you like to do next?
I will try some new recipies. A friend of mine was on holiday in India and she inspired me for new meals.
What advice would you give to someone who wanted to do your job?
You have to be very passionate about cooking, because it is not an easy job. It is even sometimes very exhausting.
