Product Chef

Stop planning. Stop designing. Start cooking.

When you first learn to cook something, you might follow a recipe. You are told what ingredients to use in what quantities and instructed on how to combine them. When you’re really good, you invent recipes based on what you have on hand (...), the needs of those you’ll be sharing the meal with, the vegetables that are in season, et cetera. The order and process of a recipe helps new cooks get started, but it’s only with practice, inventiveness, experimentation, and constraints that you might begin to call yourself a chef.
