good reasons there
though I can see why you wouldn't want to cook professionally. I reckon most chefs are bastards. Maybe a job in a tiny little pub that did food and was willing to experiment a bit

They're really really tough, I can imagine.
On a medium-to-high level, when a chef cooks, it's like an artest with a menu of different paintings, having to do 100s, day in, day out, and it's all opinion based, when it comes to the customer. Ovbously this doesn't count for your average fast food joint, but it does in a lot of places. When they're not working, they're sleeping, it's not uncommon for them to do over 15 hours a day, day in, day out.

I think if I was to get some sort of job in cooking, and I'm dreaming a bit here, it would be in cooking on TV or writing my own cook books. Something where there is loads of veriation.

But you know what, I might ask one of the local cafes, if I can put a couple of things on their menu, as a 'specials' type thing, where I'd pick two or three things each day, or maybe only once or twice a week, and see how it goes. I would have to get my figures all straight first though.

I made the mistake of suffering from anxiety and stress
and taking on the role of a head chef in a busy pub.
Basically I am an idiot.
