About "Prep to Dem"
'Have you ever tried to do that thing - you know the one where you rub your tummy and pat your head at the same time? Its a bit like cooking and speaking together....then you have to make it interesting, informative and even entertaining!' Brian Mellor.
With the surging interest in food and cooking the role of the chef has changed bringing with it new opportunities and an exciting yet daunting expectation from chefs - that of a live performance.
Could you explain some of your daily tasks to an audience of a hundred people? Can you carry out several intricate manoeuvres perfectly while keeping that audience engaged and entertained? Would they leave confident that you were a competent professional and they cant wait to buy your food or product, visit your restaurant or see you at another event following a great experience?
These are the expectations being placed on you, chefs to deliver at the increasing number of markets, events, launches, festivals, media and in house events. The foundation for any chefs is your preparation work or "prep" before any service of food.
This training will help you to transfer those skills into a public, professional or media arena drawing on Brian's real experiences of the "dem" circuit. You'll learn how to overcome possible barriers, develop new skills and enhance your CV and job prospects
Its a great opportunity to step out of the kitchen, develop your skills and feel valued!
