A Guest Lecture on “Attributes of a Chef and current trends in the
Industry”
The Department of Food Production organized a guest lecture by a renowned
Chef who worked @ Land, in Air and even Water. Chef Hassan of Indi Blaze
Chain of Restaurants enlightened Budding Chefs of Regency College. This
interactive session was organized on 4th of March 2016. Students were awe
struck when chef was narrating his experiences “every culinary student worth
his chef’s jacket will relentlessly have the voice of his instructor playing in his
head, reminding him about the value of handling food properly”. Student Chefs
enquired on latest trends in kitchens to which Chef quoted “Technology has
made Man lazy barring Chefs”. Chef spoke about being Tech friendly rather
than ignorant
A chef is a creative and highly skilled cook who can not only prepare a
delicious meal but can present it as a work of art. In addition to creativity, a
good chef needs a healthy dose of motivation and desire, an ability to make
split-second decisions, a thick skin to withstand criticism, and a facility for
multi-tasking. A good sense of smell and taste is also a must. A person with
these attributes can become a good chef but will need to do so in stages. A
future chef will starting at the bottom and work his/her way up the ladder by
going to school but by also realizing that much of the training needed in this
profession is acquired on the job.”
Regents were highly grateful to Gastronomy Dept for inviting Industry
professionals at Regency College and helping students Dream Big.
