Description
'Put a new pan down. Season the bass. Always from a height. The bass
goes in. A monk looks done. Give it the cake tester. It's barely warm.
Another minute. To the pass with it. A pan is too hot. The oil smells
scorched. Start again. Burner at full tilt. Now for the mussels. They
jump in the oil. Aromas flourish. On with more gambas. On with more
pans. On with more burners. Scrape down the plancha. Towel your brow.
Printers buzz. A new pick. Six more fish. Your legs are tired. Tickets
blur.'
Sous Chef takes you behind the swinging doors of a
busy restaurant kitchen, allowing you to inhabit this normally hidden
world, in real time. Follow chef from the moment he opens the kitchen in
the morning as he guides you through the meticulous preparation, the
camaraderie in the hours leading up to service and the adrenalin-rush as
the orders start coming in. Thrilling, addictive and bursting with
obsessive detail, Sous Chef will leave you breathless and awestruck - walking into a restaurant will never be the same again.
