Preparation of a wide variety of foods Informal food, recipes, or techniques are complicated or unusual and therefore typical of what a professional chef would do. A preparer's responsibilities revolve around the basics of cooking, such as chopping ingredients, finishing preparation lists, properly labeling stored containers and cleaning countertops. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a cook is “someone who prepares and cooks food”, while a chef is “an expert and trained cook who works in a hotel or restaurant”. Rather, they can prepare food on a daily basis, following recipes or a meal plan designed by someone else (such as a chef).
School dishes, for example, are not prepared with the same level of precision, and the intention may be to provide food solely for satisfaction, rather than as an experience.
