I'm 16, I live in a relatively small town, surrounded by a couple other small towns. I want to work as a cook somewhere because I love cooking, but I don't know how to cook everything rapidly on a large scale, like in a local restaurant. They're trying to be fancy, and they serve okay food. I'd like to go there to work as a cook, and I'm ready for whatever training and advice the cook might have, but I was wondering... Are there any other skills it would be beneficial for me to have before going to ask for a job in a restaurant? I'm afraid they might turn me away just because they'll see my inexperience as something slowing them down. This isn't the kind of place where I can try off the wall recipes, but I still will get to create my own, and cook. They have many river fish along with many meats. I'd appreciate any advice.
