What Requirement Does it take to Be a Chef

You would have to attend and complete the requirements at a culinary institute. There are many throughout the world that teach a variety of cuisines.

There are two ways, like wondergirl states go to school, here in the uk its college for 4 years that's what I did.
Or the other option is to find a kitchen that has a dam good chef in it and start from the bottom and I mean the bottom you would start with peeling veg for weeks until they thought you had proved yourself it's a tough trade.
Even college was tough they break you and re build you, you need the biggest back bone in the world because your going to come across the likes of gordon ramsey your going to be screamed at have things thrown at you and heavens knows what else but it's a passion in few people who love the food sooooo much they take everything and learn the hard way and become something very special.
