What is Chef 360?
The only show that caters to the dancing chef that you truly are!
The music and the food are one, they influence and complement each other, they inspire the cook and the musician, and embrace the consumer. Music and food are nourishment for the body, mind, and soul and as such are extremely important parts of a fulfilled life.
The similarities between a cook and a musician are numerous. They both share many common traits; late hours, unusual schedules including working during holidays—or collaborating tightly with a group of people where everyone has a part to play in order to succeed. A performer, as well as a cook, maintains his level by practicing regularly. Before being able to play challenging pieces, the musician has to learn the basics, and so does the cook. After years and years of repetition and practice, the cook develops an understanding of how food reacts and how it should be handled in order to provide good results, and so does the musician. The more they practice, the better they get. Both devote their life to their art, and through sacrifices and practice achieve the mastery of technical skills and knowledge.
They learn from the masters and the ones before them, and constantly seek to find new sonorities, flavors and perfection of their craft. The musician and the chef would not do much without their tools; a violin, a bow, a knife or apan. The cook rarely sticks to a cuisine, but rather expands his knowledge by learning recipes and foreign food; he takes influences from other cultures to improve his own cooking.
In music, these are called styles; and the classical musician will earn from jazz and popular music. The musician improvises; whether it is the jazz improviser, for whom the music is purposely written for spontaneous self-expression or the rock musician who takes a solo. It is also true of the cook who might improvise a dish with the knowledge and ingredients he has in front of him — by making mistakes he will improve, time after time.
Finally, the cook cooks for his guests and the performer performs for an audience. Whilst music doesn’t exist without an ear to hear it, taste doesn’t exist without a palate to try it
