Title: Email from a BIR Chef
Post by: chriswg on May 22, 2010, 08:19 AM
I was a bit bored at work yesterday so I went onto Monster and found a couple of BIR chef CV's. I dropped them both an email explaining my interest in cooking as well as a base and madras recipe and method from this site and asked them to comment on any areas for improvement.

Unfortunately this was the only response:

Hallo Sir,
 
          There is no need to apologies I appreciate it.There is a  huge variety of sauces & thousand types of food.Like 8 to10 in Indian food & 5 to 6 mother sauce in your  continental food.
This is just a tomato veg sauce. I can't help you this way.You must say first which type of food you want to cook, like Indian, continental, Chinese etc. Presently I am in London  with my  boss  I just came here in July 2009 to help him. I will go India in Feb 2011 & hope i will back as a good chef in a good restaurant. I have not get yet but I am searching for a good job.
          It was a coincident and requirement that moment that I came here with domestic worker visa & with this visa i cant work professionally in any restaurant.
           So when i will go India i will apply for work visa. I am in this profession since 2003. I ran a restaurant in GHANA   (Banana Leafz Indian & Indonesian Restaurant) with my own responsibility. Due to family problem i return back to India in 2008. I am looking this type of opportunity & hope i will get by gress of God.
      As I read about you that you recruit for IT sector. But if you will get any my type job so please inform me I will be appreciate.
Thanks you too.
May be God send you to make my dreams true..........

chriswg,

nice idea. i often rack my brains on how further progress can be made - it never proves constructive as i see the commercial barrier down every leg and as we probably all know there is no such thing as free.

the chappy sounds real nice and i wish him well - clearly he's feeling the other edge of UK (european) immigration

Interesting, but your thread heading reads that the email is "from a BIR chef".

This guy is no more a BIR chef than we are, by the sound of it. I don't doubt he can good good Indian food but it won't be the BIR style - well not unless he gets a job in a BIR here and is showed/trained how it's done in the UK for British taste.

There's a novel approach, has anyone tried simply emailing a BIR restaurant?

Chris, it's a case of nothing ventured nothing gained, well done for trying.
