To become a great chef, Māris Astičs suggests:
“Find the inner motivation to fall in love with this profession. You will have to learn and work a lot to achieve something. Learn to respect yourself, those around you and the products because only by appreciating the products we can understand their essence and uniqueness. As my professor J. Arbidāns once said: “Chef – that’s the best profession because you’ll always be fed and in a warm environment.” The majority of chefs and waiters work to get that especially fantastic feeling when a client says to you: “Thank you very much, it was very tasty!””
