While I did spend much of my time as a child in the wood shop with my father, I spent as much in the kitchen with my mother. I was a good helper! But more importantly, my mother is an amazing chef. It’s not just my opinion, every single friend of mine would agree – just ask Derrick, Trey, Oliver, or anyone that’s had her fried chicken or BBQ! Honestly, it’s amazing that everyone in my family is thin.
There are a few key elements to cooking, and the application of heat is least important as it is by far the simplest aspect. Just don’t burn it! First, you have to know what’s for dinner. Once you have that decided, it’s all in the finding the right ingredients or items at the store. Proper sourcing is a must. Then, as the best chefs know, the secret is in the preparation. The end game … Timing. Everything must be pipping hot (not kept warm) when plated and served. And of course, heat is applied as needed.
Call me crazy, but this process (for all practical purposes) is the exact same process for executing any type of project. Whether naming a company, building an ecommerce website, or crafting a two year marketing strategy, it’s the same process. Now I'm wondering how to work in my time spent helping my mother in the kitchen as relevant work experience on the ol’ resume.
