Enjy’s Answer

Cooking is an art form. It requires a deep-seated passion that should be evident in every dish you create. The moment your guests glance at your plate, they should be able to sense your love, creativity, and dedication to the culinary arts.

Many accomplished chefs I've encountered didn't necessarily have a formal culinary education, but rather, they had experience. However, I would recommend pursuing at least an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts from a community college or a culinary institution. This is particularly beneficial if you're aiming to climb the corporate ladder in the culinary world.

The higher you advance in your education, the more advantageous it is. It's a valuable asset to have under your belt.

To be great a great chef, you have to cook! The more experience you have cooking and the more feedback you collect on your food, the better you can become.

I higher recommend looking for opportunities to cook in different cuisines and environments (fast food, sit down, catering, etc.).

You will also want to surround yourself with information about cooking. Documentaries, movies, youtubers, etc. Follow your interests down deep research rabbit holes. What makes Thai spices so unique? How do Indian curries keep meat so moist? How did peasant food become to the backbone of fine French cooking? The more you know, the more your personal style can develop and grow.
