A chef is a person who cooks professionally for other people. Although over time the term has come to describe any person who cooks for a living, traditionally it refers to a highly skilled professional who is proficient in all aspects of food preparation.

Etymology

The word "chef" is borrowed (and shortened) from the French term ''chef de cuisine'', the director or head of a kitchen. (The French word comes from Latin ''caput'' and is cognate with English "chief".) In English, the title "chef" in the culinary profession originated in the ''haute cuisine'' of the 19th century. Today it is often used to refer to any professional cook, regardless of rank.

Titles

Below are various titles given to those working in a professional kitchen and each can be considered a title for a type of chef. Many of the titles are based on the ''brigade de cuisine'' (or brigade system) documented by Auguste Escoffier, while others have a more general meaning depending on the individual kitchen.

''Chef de cuisine'', executive chef and head chef

This person is in charge of all things related to the kitchen which usually includes menu creation; management of kitchen staff; ordering and purchasing of inventory; and plating design. ''Chef de cuisine'' is the traditional French term from which the English word chef is derived. ''Head chef'' is often used to designate someone with the same duties as an executive chef, but there is usually someone in charge of them, possibly making the larger executive decisions such as direction of menu, final authority in staff management decisions, etc. This is often the case for chefs with several restaurants.

===''Sous-chef''=== The ''Sous-Chef de Cuisine'' (under-chef of the kitchen) is the second in command and direct assistant of the Chef. This person may be responsible for scheduling and substituting when the Chef is off-duty and will also fill in for or assist the ''Chef de Partie'' (line cook) when needed. This person is responsible for inventory, Cleanliness of the kitchen, Organization and constant training of all employees. The "Sous-Chef" is responsible for taking commands from the Chef and following through with them. The "Sous-Chef" is responsible for line checks and rotation of all product. Smaller operations may not have a ''sous-chef'', while larger operations may have several.

''Chef de partie''

A ''chef de partie'', also known as a "station chef" or "line cook", is in charge of a particular area of production. In large kitchens, each station chef might have several cooks and/or assistants. In most kitchens however, the station chef is the only worker in that department. Line cooks are often divided into a hierarchy of their own, starting with "first cook", then "second cook", and so on as needed.

===''Commis'' (Chef) === A commis is a basic chef in larger kitchens who works under a ''chef de partie'' to learn the station's responsibilities and operation. This may be a chef who has recently completed formal culinary training or is still undergoing training.

Station-chef titles which are part of the brigade system include:

!English	!French	wikipedia:IPA for French>IPA	!Description
sauté chef	''saucier''
fish chef	''poissonnier''		Prepares fish dishes and often does all fish butchering as well as appropriate sauces. This station may be combined with the ''saucier'' position.
roast chef	''rôtisseur''		Prepares roasting
grill chef	''grillardin''
fry chef	''friturier''
vegetable chef	''entremetier''		Prepares hot [[appetizers and often prepares the soups, vegetables, pastas and starches. In a full brigade system a ''potager'' would prepare soups and a ''legumier'' would prepare vegetables.
roundsman	''tournant''		Also referred to as a swing cook, fills in as needed on stations in the kitchen.
pantry chef	''garde manger''		Responsible for preparing cold foods, including salads, cold appetizers, ''pâtés'' and other ''charcuterie'' items.
butcher	''boucher''		Butchers meats, poultry and sometimes fish. May also be responsible for breading meats and fish.
pastry chef	''pâtissier''		Is qualified in making baked goods such as pastries, cakes, biscuits, macarons, chocolates, breads and desserts. Pastry Chefs can specialize in cakes in patisseries or bakeries by making wedding, cupcakes, birthday and special occasion cakes. In larger establishments, the pastry chef often supervises a separate team in their own kitchen or separate shop.

Kitchen assistants

Kitchen assistants are of two types, kitchenhands and stewards. Kitchenhands assist with basic food preparation tasks under the chef's direction. They carry out relatively unskilled tasks such as peeling potatoes and washing salad. Stewards are involved in the scullery, washing up and general cleaning duties. In a smaller kitchen, these duties may be incorporated.

A ''communard'' is in charge of preparing the meal for the staff during a shift. This meal is often referred to as the staff or family meal.

The ''escuelerie'' (from 15th century French and a cognate of the English "scullery"), or the more modern plongeur or dishwasher, is the keeper of dishes, having charge of dishes and keeping the kitchen clean. A common humorous title for this role in some modern kitchens is "''chef de plonge''" or "head dishwasher".

Culinary education

United States and Canadian training

Culinary education is available from a wide number of institutions offering diploma, associate, and bachelor degree programs in culinary arts. Depending on the level of education, this can take one to four years. An internship is often part of the curriculum. Regardless of the education received, most professional kitchens follow the apprenticeship system, and most new cooks will start at a lower-level 2nd or 1st cook position and work their way up.

European training

The training period for a chef is generally four years as an apprentice. A newly qualified chef is a or more commonly a torquecommis-chef, consisting of first-year ''commis'', second-year ''commis'', and so on. The rate of pay is usually in accordance with the training status. ''Commis'' chefs, like all other chefs except the executive-chef, are placed in sections of the kitchen (e.g., the starter (appetizer) or entrée sections) under the guidance of a ''demi-chef de partie'' and are given relatively basic tasks. Ideally, over time, a ''commis'' will spend a certain period in each section of the kitchen to learn the basics. Unaided, a ''commis'' may work on the vegetable station of a kitchen.

The usual formal training period for a chef is two years in catering college. They often spend the summer in work placements. In some cases this is modified to 'day-release' courses; a chef will work full-time in a kitchen as an apprentice and then would have allocated days off to attend catering college. These courses can last between one to three years.

Uniform

The standard uniform for a chef includes a hat, necktie, double-breasted jacket, apron, houndstooth (check) trousers (to disguise stains) and shoes with steel or plastic toe-caps, or clogs. A chef's hat was originally designed as a tall rippled hat called a Dodin Bouffant or more commonly a toque. The Dodin Bouffant had 101 ripples that represent the 101 ways that the chef could prepare eggs. The modern chef's hat is tall to allow for the circulation of air above the head and also provides an outlet for heat. The hat helps to prevent sweat from dripping down the face. Skullcaps are an alternative hat worn by chefs.

Neckties were originally worn to allow for the mopping of sweat from the face, but as this is now against health regulations, they are largely decorative. The chef's neck tie was originally worn on the inside of the jacket to stop sweat running from face and neck down the body. The jacket is usually white to show off the chef's cleanliness and repel heat, and is double-breasted to prevent serious injuries from burns and scalds. The double breast also serves to conceal stains on the jacket as one side can be rebuttoned over the other.

An apron is worn to just below knee-length, also to assist in the prevention of burns because of spillage. If hot liquid is spilled onto it, the apron can be quickly removed to minimize burns and scalds. Shoes and clogs are hard-wearing and with a steel-top cap to prevent injury from falling objects or knives. According to some hygiene regulations, jewelry is not allowed apart from wedding bands and religious jewelry. If wound dressings are required they should be blue—a colour not usual for foodstuffs—so that they are noticeable if they fall into food. Bandages on the hands are usually covered with rubber gloves.

Corey Woods (born January 12, 1970), better known by the stage name Raekwon, is an American rapper and a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. He released his solo debut, ''Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...'' in 1995, and has since recorded numerous solo albums, as well as work with Wu-Tang and an extensive amount of guest contributions with other hip hop artists.

Raekwon is often cited as one of the pioneers of the Mafioso rap sub-genre. In 2007, The editors of About.com placed him on their list of the Top 50 MCs of Our Time (1987–2007). The ''Miami New Times'' described Raekwon's music as being "street epics" that are "straightforward yet linguistically rich universes not unlike a gangsta ''Iliad''."

Music career

Wu-Tang Clan

Corey Woods joined the Wu-Tang Clan, a nine-member hip hop group based in the Staten Island borough of New York City, in 1992. He went under the stage name Raekwon the Chef and aliases Raekwon, Shallah Raekwon, and Lex Diamonds. Wu-Tang Clan debuted one year later with ''Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers''. Singles from the album included "Protect Ya Neck" and "C.R.E.A.M.", the latter of which reached #8 on the ''Billboard'' rap chart. ''Wu-Tang Forever'' followed in 1997 and was certified four times platinum by the RIAA, quadruple the certification given ''Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)''. Alongside other solo albums by its members, Wu-Tang continued recording as a group, releasing ''The W'' in 2000, ''Iron Flag'' in 2001, and ''8 Diagrams'' in 2007.

''Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...''

In 1994, Raekwon signed a solo deal with Loud Records and released his debut single "Heaven & Hell" for the soundtrack to the movie ''Fresh''. His first solo LP, ''Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...'', was released in 1995 to rave reviews, though not to as much commercial success as fellow Wu-Tang member Method Man's ''Tical''. According to Steve Huey of allmusic, "''Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...'' contained a narrative album format revolving around cocaine trafficking, criminal activity, and a rise through the ranks of the illegal industry." Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah appeared on over half of the album's tracks, with Wu-Tang member RZA producing the album in its entirety.

''Immobilarity'' and ''The Lex Diamond Story''

After ''Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...'', Raekwon appeared on a track by the R&B; group Allure from the group's self-titled debut in 1997. He also appeared on Fat Joe's song "John Blaze" alongside Nas, Jadakiss, and Big Pun; "John Blaze" also had a music video. Raekwon's next effort, ''Immobilarity'', came out in 1999 to mixed reviews, which were mainly attributed to the absence of RZA and Ghostface Killah. ''The Lex Diamond Story'' followed in 2003 on Universal Records, to mixed reviews as well (generally lukewarm critical reviews and wildly varying public reviews) and moderate success. Raekwon later voiced his dis-taste for the albums lack of promotion and budget and vowed that future releases would not suffer the same fate.

''Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II''

Raekwon planned to release the long-delayed sequel to his debut, entitled ''Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II'' in 2007 through Aftermath Entertainment. The album was informally executively produced by Busta Rhymes, whom Raekwon cited as getting him in the "''Cuban Linx'' mindset", and RZA, with RZA handling most of the production. Dr. Dre, Scram Jones, and J Dilla were other producers that were announced early on as working on the album. RZA explained the collaboration between him and Dr. Dre as "yin and yang" when it came to their styles.

Raekwon and EMI both confirmed at one point that ''Only Built For Cuban Linx... Pt. II'' would be released in the summer of 2009 with EMI serving as the distribution label for the album, which was officially released on Raekwon's ICEH2O label. However, Raekwon and EMI later announced that the album would be pushed back to September 8, 2009 due to sample clearance issues, and the leak of a song from the album entitled "Surgical Gloves." On September 8, 2009, ''Only Built For Cuban Linx... Pt. II'' was released after many delays. The album features many Wu-Tang members and affiliates, as well as Slick Rick, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes, Beanie Sigel and more. On September 28, 2009 Raekwon was named the #10 Hottest MC in the game by MTV. He also converted to Islam in 2009.

In December 2009, major hip hop site HipHopDx released their 2009 Awards, with ''Only Built For Cuban Linx... Pt. II'' being chosen as 'Album of the Year'. Dx described it as "...the Hip Hop equivalent to ''The Godfather 2'', with Rae as revitalized as Marlon was...". In addition, Raekwon was selected as 'Emcee of the Year' (fellow New Yorker Nas had won in 2008). Their staff justified this pick with this description of Raekwon's career in 2009:

''Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang''

After the critical and relative commercial success of ''Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II'', Raekwon collaborated with Method Man and Ghostface Killah for ''Wu-Massacre'', a short trio album designed to showcase unity within the group. Following this release, Raekwon resurrected talk of ''Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang'', a project announced in 2007, originally planned as a Wu-Tang album, minus RZA, due to his response to the previous group album ''8 Diagrams''. Raekwon forwarded his projects continuously thru his growing label Icewater. He both worked on his own project while signing other underground artists. Raekwon's son is rumored to be heavily involved in his father's label.

Though not a Wu-Tang Clan project, ''Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang'' was released in March 2011, serving as Raekwon's fifth solo LP. As originally planned, RZA did not participate on the project, however, several other Wu-Tang members made appearances, as well as Black Thought, Nas and Rick Ross, among others. Shortly after ''Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang'' was completed, Raekwon revealed that he intends on eventually releasing a third installment to the ''Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…'' albums.
