[@whynottalklikeapirat]

@@itsamiracle9740 Usually there is no need, and clearly Marco is lightyears more proficient in every way related to cooking, but yeah for a shorter burst I could probably get close without looking, the technique itself is not really about the speed, if you can cut fast while looking you can also more or less do it without doing so, the speed or precision is not in the visual cue, it’s in automating the basic movement and consciously guiding with your left hand, resting the knife blade against the flat part of your fingers in a vertical angle and curling back your fingertips as they hold on the food item, so they don’t get caught. That way your fingers are never near the cutting edge and you can go by the feeling alone once it’s automated. The movement of the left plays a key part in how thinly things are sliced as well. Usually the thinner the faster because there is no sideways “jumping” with the knife to break the rythm it’s just a steady progression, like a machine. I am not in the cooking business but should think most cooking professionals with a bit of experience should be able to do this, it’s more or less the only truly efficient and relaxed way to chop a lot of produce, regardless of whether or not you are looking at what you are doing.

@@stevencoardveniceseems to be quite a troubled person or just a massive dick depending on how you want to look at it, I don’t know anything about what his childhood was like. Has has issues with drugs, shoplifting, racism and so on. Looks like he used his fathers celebrity status to try and get into the celebrity world and went on big brother in 2016. As far as I can see he was sent to prison for a shoplifting spree as well as possession of a knife and heroin. Apparently he has since converted to Islam and vows to stay clean which is good. However the whole Islam thing seems a bit meh, he’s been seen drinking alcohol more than once which is forbidden so take what you want from that.

It's always a joy to watch MPW cook.

Hell he's a great storyteller as well, as proven by his life story video. So glad to have discovered his work.

[@nicklerjoy2418]

A couple years ago, I invested in being prefessional cook. Went to college, had a lot of lessons and finally had a job opportunity at a famous restaurant in the region. I was so anxious about it, I had prepared for that moment, I knew it would be harsh, but nothing really prepared me until I had stepped into the kitchen and worked there. Then it hit me, all I've done, learned and prepared meant nothing. I was so sure that I wanted to be a profeesional chef that I let it distract me, and after a month, I left. Not because I gave up the kitchen, but because I tried to turn something that I lovend into a profession, and that was my mistake. My entire life I heard "Work with what you love, and you'll never work", mut it does not apply to everything. There are some things that if you turn into a profession, it loses the flavour and you may feel stressed and/or down because of it, took me a while to learn this, but now I can proudly say that cooking is one of my favorite things in the world, so if you're feeling down because of something like this, take a moment to breathe, and try to do it for yourself before you do it for someone else.

[@kopifighter]

I was a chef for 4 years, working tirelessly in restaurants from Bistros to Michelin Starred ones. You are spot on that Cooking as a hobby and a profession is 2 very huge different spectrum. 1 Year ago, I decided to start afresh as a UX Designer and rediscovered my love for cooking once again. I hope to all chefs out there that are experiencing the urge to quit and try something new, Do it, the sunk cost fallacy is not as big as you picture it to be! This industry is definitely harsh and difficult but quitting is not something to be ashamed about. Its tiring enough to stand 14 hours a day/ Working without breaks/ Getting shouted at by your Chef de Cuisines/ Barely have the time to laugh and cry with your loved ones......have some pity at least on your body and mental health.

[@hungipham]

Thanks very much for sharing. Hope you found an enjoyable career and continue to cook for yourself and your loved ones.

[@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool]

That is a shame but I feel the same with music. If I did it as a profession I would be filled with anxiety

[@calebfuller4713]

And THIS is why I never became a chef or opened a restaurant. The closest I came was teaching cooking courses.

[@agaultierify]

So what are you doing now ? I felt the same, i almost dropped my education to study cooking and become a chef, but I think I won't like it as much as I like cooking at home, for me and my loved ones. I love cooking from the bottom of my soul, but becoming a chef doesn't seem to fit what I want.

Jesus loves you so much! God offers you so much also God is waiting for you to come to Him. Jesus’s blood is grater than your sins He wants you to come to Him Have you ever made Jesus your Lord and savior? Jesus offers you His Righteousness as a gift He will wash you completely Clean from ALL your sins and wants you to Come to him it says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Meaning the punishment for our sins is Hell Because we are not obedient to God. But Jesus was completely obedient to God He went to the cross to die for us and now we do not trust in our obedience but His it says, Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. But it’s your part to receive Jesus to believe upon Him. It says, “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Don’t think it’s not wrong to sin -because He loves us. L
