of someone in a work or
business environment. A
person doesn’t have to work
in a specific profession to
demonstrate the important
qualities and characteristics of
a professional.

workplace success, a strong
professional reputation and a
high level of work ethic and
excellence.
• A chef is a trained
professional cook
and tradesman who is
proficient in all aspects of food
preparation, often focusing on
a particular cuisine. The word
"chef" is derived from the
term chef de cuisine, the
director or head of a kitchen.

5. Academic Qualifications and Experiences
Jamie’s introduction to the culinary industry was as
organic as his cooking philosophy. His parents
operated a pub and eatery near his home in Essex,
England. Jamie spent his childhood years stumbling
around the kitchen of The Cricketers, getting his hands
into basic food prep. He was ahead of years in culinary
prowess, mastering basic apprentice chef skills by the
time he was a teen. He knew early on that cooking was
his calling, so enrolled in the cooking school program at
Westminster Catering College, now Westminster-
Kingsway College, which accepts students into its
career courses from the age of 16. Jamie enrolled at
that age, and studied the school’s well-respected
Hospitality and Catering programs.
Oliver followed up his London cooking education with
the well-shared path of many professional chefs: a stint
in France. Working his way through the famous French
culinary world and learning classical methods of French
cookery. After returning to London he went to work as
pastry chef and baker for Chef/Proprietor Antonio
Carluccio, of Neal Street Restaurant fame, who now
operates Carluccio’s Caffes. For three and a half years,
Oliver worked at the well-received River Café, which
brought him early media attention. A documentary
about the restaurant featured on camera appearances
that eventually led his first regular TV presence, on the
Naked Chef.

9. Dress Code
The jacket is usually double-
breasted as this provides an
additional layer of protection
from heat or any hot splashes.
The material is often made
from a heavy cotton or a
polyester and cotton mix as
this allows breathability and
also helps to protect the chef
from any hot splashes.
Chef pants help to prevent
contaminants from everyday
clothes from contaminating
the food. They are also
loose fitting to assist with
movement and breathability
and are made from a thick
material to help minimise
the dangers from hot spills.
For comfort, shoes must be
well fitted and have good
shock absorption. This will
relieve some of the pressure
on the bottom of the feet from
standing on the hard floor. For
safety, all chefs should wear
shoes that are non-slip and
have steel or reinforced
toecaps.
An apron provides an added
layer of protection against heat
and flames, as well as stains.
Aprons should be made of a
flame-retardant material and
must be tied and fitted
correctly.
The hat is a well-recognised
component of a chef’s
uniform. However, a lot of
chefs choose not to wear
the classic high hat
anymore.

10. Conclusion
