Well-Seasoned: Kitchen Kronicles

 

The door creaked open, the light flickered to life, and the static surge of the ventilation system broke the silence, filling the space with a low, mechanical hum. This is the heartbeat of the kitchen—the space where cold, hard steel meets warm, bustling energy. Behind every plate lies a story: of grueling hours, unexpected camaraderie, and lessons etched in burn marks and knife cuts.

Welcome to KITCHEN KULTURE; I’m Culinary Plee and this is “A Culinary Account,” where the clang of pots and the sizzle of oil aren’t just background noise—they’re the soundtrack of a life spent in kitchens. Over the next ten months, I’ll be taking you on a personal journey, one seasoned by the grit, beauty, and chaos of this world. From the weight of a chef’s knife to the unspoken code of ‘Oui, Chef,’ this is where the lessons learned behind the line come to life.
