WORDS ANDREW CHALK
O
ne of the effects, some would
say the measure of the effect,
of cultivating a culinary reputation is a chain of protégés.
Some of these in turn develop their own reputations, and concomitant
lists of protégés, embellishing that of the
mentor. Protégés may be as tenuously attached to the mentor as followers of one’s
style of cooking through books and articles. Some chefs, indeed, become acknowledged as the father’s of a school of cuisine.
More likely, one’s protégés of the first order
are former reports in the kitchen who, while
they may have started as a lowly apprentice or commis in the brigade, rise to head
their own kitchen (and maybe occupy their
own pedestal) later in their career.
