Some Tips: Chef's And Their Families

Chefs are food experts. Of course, they are food lovers. But then, as they are endowed with that gift of food and cooking, they can be humbler and more considerate than us, with regard to other's cooking. However, priorities of their main concerns are food cleanliness and kitchen order.

Enjoy reading the chef's answers (to my questions) below.

Mrs. Soenen said that she developed a fascination for food when she and her husband, Cyrille Philippe Soenen (Chef de Cuisine of a noted hotel) lived in France for 81/2 years. "It is not just an event, but an occasion for good company," On days, lunch at the Soenen's sometimes lasted for 5-6 hours. At home Anna made sure the kitchen was clean, knives were sharp, and the food right for her husband's. "I prepare the menu, but he makes the final approval," Anna said.

She also trained her children to eat whatever is served on the table.

Mrs. Lolita Taylo said of her husband, "He loves simple recipes like green beans sautéed in slices of pork or bit of shrimp. He is not choosy."

At home, Lolita decided what to cook, but sometimes consulted her husband. The chef required that the food was clean and odor free. During parties, the chef cooked morcon, special embotido, and Cantonese style noodles.

Most chef's advise their wives to be very organized, hardworking, and dependable so the end product of any meal is always beautiful.

Maria Teresa is a wife of German Chef Katcer. The couple owned a restaurant. "I've learned a lot from my husband where cooking is concerned," she said. "There must be order in the kitchen."

Can you imagine a chef's home now? Most of the rules point to kitchen cleanliness. Food could be simple, but real clean!

And of course, the kitchen must have the basics needed, including the utensils.

The chef's families delight in simple food and even make them more fashionable. They always agreed on healthy foods, too.

Finally, some of the chef's wives said that their husbands had sensitive stomachs. Kids said, "They're just great dads, too." But then, could it be possible that this is what makes them such excellent chefs?

When I asked Chef Rudolf Mendoza about his best recipes, he asserted "My secret is the Smile Recipe!"
