Greetings,

I decided to join to try and look for some help. I'm working on writing a book. I have been a chef for 15 years due to the pandemic I lost my job. I thought would be a fun idea to write about things I have seen, experience and other fun stuff along my career of being a chef.

Hello and welcome to the forums!

Welcome! It would be fun to read about your experiences as a chef. Are you going to write in fiction or nonfiction? Either would work well....

[Olly Buckle]

Actual personal experience is a good place to start, whether you fitionalise it or tell it as it is. Fun is a good attitude to take toward it as well, of course it is possible you may write a best seller, but it is a very small proportion of writers who actually make a real living from it. What sort of help are you looking for, there is a wealth of experience, and inexperience, here and you may find many of the questions you would ask already answered. A good place to start is 'Writing discussion' and its sub forum 'Hints and Tips', not only is there a fair bit which is of interest there, but also the opportunity to comment and make the ten posts necessary to see the full forum open up.

Welcome to the forum, Olly.

Hey, welcome to the forum! As a casual fan of Food Network I find the culinary world interesting. Also, even if your book doesn't center around a chef or the culinary arts everybody has to eat at some point so you've got a skillset that you can draw on. Have you ever read any Dick Francis mysteries? He turned his former career as a steeplechase jockey into characters and plot points for his books.

In any case, glad to have you here.

Welcome to the site! I am a complete 'wannabe' chef, always in awe of a real one.

I have been a waitress many, many hrs and know my way around front lines of the restaurant business. What happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen. Or in the cooler,,,or pantry,,,or backroom. Lol. I think writing about your experiences would be awesome. It’s a whole different life behind the kitchen doors. Welcome.

It's the best thing in the world, when you try to explain it others they just don't understand haha !
