Searing flames, angry chefs and blood, sweat and tears - that's what I imagined a professional kitchen to look like. Of course, my expectation came from watching far too many series of Hell's Kitchen and MasterChef: The Professionals - so I knew it wasn't entirely accurate. But still, the thought of spending a day in a restaurant kitchen slightly terrified me.
My cooking skills are basic - good enough to whip up a decent dinner, but not superior enough to expect anyone else to actually pay for it. I know my staple pesto pasta certainly wouldn't meet the standards of a head chef. Though thankfully, there was no stern-faced Gordon Ramsey waiting for me at Honest Burgers in Bristol, just Rhys Huntley with a big smile.
