Almost everyday in your life you see an expert chef or cook in action.
That is true especially if you're working in a restaurant or in a hotel.
You can also see expert cooks giving advice and tips on TV, since there are televised cooking channels that one can access anywhere in the world.
They're amazing, aren't they? These cooks are so adept at what they do that they can cut up the ingredients in precise measurements, and without crookedness or missed ends.
These chefs are so good that they can even cut without looking, and their cuts are still clean despite that.
Now what do these chefs have in common with you? Yes, you're reading it right.
These chefs have something in common with you.
Is it the interest for cooking? Correct.
But there's something else you and them have in common.
And that is the basic skill and techniques for cooking.
Everyone has to start at the basic.
The basics are considered the first steps to anything you want to learn.
A child has to take that first wobbling step in order to learn how to talk.
An expert piano player has to start at the basics as well, including Beethoven, Mozart and all those great pianists the world has ever known.
Chefs, of course, are no exception.
That is why the basics are the most important part of the culinary arts curriculum.
Yes, it's true.
Some people might find it boring, especially when they don't have the patience or are too eager to learn the art, but they have to understand the importance of learning the basics first.
The Basics Prepare You for the Advanced: Let's take for example a piano player.
A piano player, or any classical instrumentalist like the violin and cello, reads music through sheets.
If you are a beginner, you have to start from the beginning of the lesson.
This would include reading and playing simple music like "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and many others.
To a grown-up person this would seem ridiculous, but the truth is, these songs are taught first because they have simple notes that are easy to read.
As you progress, the lessons build up and you can finally play more complicated and advanced music.
That is only possible if you start the basic.
The same goes true for culinary arts.
You have to learn how to properly cut up the ingredients, especially livestock.
It doesn't matter much if you're cooking for your home, but if you're planning to embark on a career as a professional chef, you need to make sure that not only are your dishes delicious, they should also look organized and well prepared.
That is only possible if you learn the basics first.
No skill in this world is acquired instantly.
You have to persevere and practice hard in order to learn what you are trying to learn.
There's no way you can fast forward through lessons and acquire instant learning, not unless you're super special and of extreme intelligence and aptitude.
That is true especially if you're working in a restaurant or in a hotel.
