勇氣 Bravery

Feuille料理實驗室不是一家餐廳,而是一個工作室


其目的是促進烹飪互動,教育,創造力和透明度。
 我們不是全職工作,只在指定的服務時間,我們都擺脫了我們日常生活中的各種職業角色,並承擔了廚師的雙重身份。
 在整齊的白色制服和黑帽子下面,是有個性,經驗,知識和有不同年紀的人們。了不起的是,雖有所不同,對於烹飪的熱情結把我們結合在一起。
 誰會想到,我們精心細緻的編排的廚房人員是由精通攝影,視覺藝術技術,市場營銷,化學背景和會計專業的不同專業人士經營的。
 對我來說,儘管有所不一樣,但我們卻能相互尊重,相互鼓勵、激勵,這真是太神奇了,具經驗豐富的同仁擔任導師的角色,培養了一些經驗不足的夥伴,讓他們可敏捷執行任務,幫助他們加快了嘗試的步伐,這些工作人員並沒有因他們經驗不足而緊張不安,或露出畏懼地面對這次的試菜服務,而是勇敢地、毫不猶豫地、不示弱地、這讓我感到最為欣慰。
在服務期間,緊張和壓力高漲,儘管出現了錯誤,但全體人員能夠迅速適應,即興創作,糾正錯誤,讓不安的情緒穩定下來,我認為無疑是其勇敢和魄力。不管你來自哪裡,或者你的背景,如果你願意相信你想做的事,你覺得可以做的到,那麼如同齒輪將落在正確的位置般,來幫助您開始和前進。

Feuille food lab is not a restaurant, but a studio where its purpose is to promote the culinary interaction, education, creativity, and transparency. We do not operate full time and it is only during the appointed service hours that we all shed the various vocations of our daily life and assume the double identity of a chef. Underneath that carefully tapered white uniforms and black hats are individuals with differences in personalities, experience, knowledge, and age. What is truly remarkable is that despite all that difference, we are bound together by the same passion in food. Who would have thought, our carefully and meticulously choreographed kitchen is operated by different professionals proficient in photography, visual arts technology, marketing, chemistry, and accounting other than fine dining professionals. It is amazing to me, that despite all that difference, we have treated each other courteously with respect, encouraged each other with assurance, and motivated each other with good will. And staff with more experience took up the role of a mentor, nurtured those with little experience and those who were more agile and acute in execution helped pick up the pace of those attempting the task for the first time. I am most consoled by the fact that these staff members did not let their inexperience or nervousness slow them down, but rather they stared fearlessly into them, face stern and ready with determination, without slightest hint of faltering.
During service, tensions and stress ran high. Despite the fact some mistakes were made, the staff were able to quickly adapt, improvise, and correct their errors without letting their emotions get the better of them. I think there are valor and braveries in many forms, what I witnessed here is certainly one of them—regardless of where you come from or what your background may be, if you believe in what you want to do and that you can do it, then all the gears would fall in the right place to help you get started and ahead.
