Kitchen Symphony
Hey chefs, I’ve got one simple question for you.
I thought that it was a simple question and expected simple answers. What is your favourite sound in the kitchen?
I should not have been surprised, given you chefs are a self-reflective, introspective bunch that can translate memories, emotions and experiences into deliciousness. With each Instagram DM I sent, I knew that this was bigger than my small weekly blog post to fulfil my food writing course’s participation requirement. The unsung heroes of hospitality were hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic and these responses were genuine cries for the moment you longed for — to cook for us all again.
When was the last time you stopped to tune into the tick, tick, pfooom of the gas stove igniting? The chit machine spitting out a new order or the clang of a knife and fork meeting at the base of a plate signalling a satisfied patron. These are the compelling responses that I cannot wait to continue to collect and share.
Please share this post with any chef in your life we want to hear from you. Food people are the best people, after all.
