Chef is a term commonly used to refer to an individual who cooks professionally. Within a restaurant however, chef (French for chief or head) is often only used to refer to one person: the one in charge of everyone else in the kitchen. This is usually the executive chef.
There are many kinds of kitchen organizations, with the titles and duties for each position varying depending on the particular restaurant.
pick up a food magazine, or cookbook. every picture in there was arranged by a food designer. they put the food on the plate and make it look pretty
Food designers do weird tricks with food to make the food look great. The food is real, just not edible. Like, you know how bowls of cereal look like they have the creamiest milk? That's Elmer's glue mixed in. They shellac vegetables and fruits to make them shiny. And arrange it all. Then the photographer takes the pics. It's fascinating.
culinary arts was my major in college.. food design, or rather food styling was my minor... food stylists can work with food on or off camera... on camera items would include food that is already prepared for the chef or tv hosts so he/she can present it to the viewers as the final product...food stylists even create the food that are shown in tv commercials.. off camera would include.. packaging on food..ex. they create the cereal that goes on the cereal boxes... and food stylists are also hired to make food items for cookbooks and magazine photos as well... food stylists get the recipe from the chef...go out and buy the most perfect looking ingredients they can find..cook the food.. and style it to make it look perfect and attractive....hope that helps!
