Cooking has been debated as either being an art or a skill, but either way, even the most untalented in the kitchen can exceed with these 6 tips from renowned chefs. Just because they are famous doesn’t mean they have forgotten the basic parts of cooking that helped them get to where they are today.
Jamie Oliver
Jamie’s habit is to keep an organized kitchen. He stocks up on the essentials, such as dried herbs and spices, to ensure every dish is both healthy and full of flavor. He also likes to source the freshest of foods and pre-plan meals so he can save time.

Joel Robuchon
Joel insists that hard work is the key to becoming a great cook. This is in all aspects of life as well. Plan your days and stick to them, much like how you would when you’ve decided how to cook a meal. You have to be willing to give it your all and not quit when things get tough or when you’ve had a setback.
Tom Cenci
Tom likes to keep things simple by doing his prep the day before he makes a meal. This involves weighing, cutting, marinating, and baking. By getting this out of the way, he has more time to focus on the recipe itself without having to give more time to smaller tedious prep tasks that can often be time-consuming and frustrating.
