So how much of /ck/ actually cooks as a profession? How many

>>9030429
It's not my full-time job, but I do catering gigs on the weekends. Pit BBQ, spit-roasted pig, and crawfish boils. It pays surprisingly well.

Beyond that I cook as a hobby. For me, it's a great way to unwind after a busy or rough day at work.

Don't do it it's hell, you will hate everybody in the kitchen and you well turn to alcohol and drugs to cope with your shitty job

I like cooking as a hobby, not trying to be a poorfag and do it professionally.

No thanks. I like to cook what I like, instead of what is on the fucking menu some dipshit made.
>How many of you went to school for it?
Me.

That's cool and all. If someone likes to cook - why is it bad?

Cooking isn't a very secure trade, and its stressful and the pay is normally shit. I like cooking, but I'm not doing that shit for a living.

I work in IT, but I live with my GF and we cook all of our food at home and rarely eat out. Make our own butter/cheese/bread too. It's cheaper and more fun.

If cooking is anything like computers, doing it for a job will make you not want to even bother dealing with it at home. Working in IT for 7 years has made me hate computers and end up just running Windows and not giving a shit about it as a hobby at home; I bet long-time chefs eat way more takeout and fast food at home than they did before they were chefs.

Actually professional head chefs make their own menus if the place is anywhere near decent.

Yes, but professional head chefs are a minority of the industry. Most of the industry are drones that do what the head chef (or, more commonly, the corporate owners) tell them to, the exact same way every time.
