Second, I’ll study hard and get the best results in my examinations. It doesn’t mean have to be so hard, but in a smart way.

KITCHEN BRIGADE

BRIGADE DE CUISINE

Brigade de cuisine is a system of hierarchy found in restaurants and hotels in France that employ extensive staff and are commonly referred to as kitchen staff in English speaking countries.

The concept was developed by Georges Auguste Escoffier. This structured team system delegates responsibilities to different individuals who specialize in certain tasks.

List of positions

This is an exhaustive list of the different members of the kitchen brigade system. Only the largest of establishments would have an extensive staff of this size. As noted under some titles, certain positions are combined into other positions when such a large staff is unnecessary. Note: Despite the use of "chef" in English as the title for a cook, the word actually means "chief" or "head" in French.

• Chef de cuisine (kitchen chef; literally "chief of kitchen") – is responsible for overall management of kitchen; supervises staff, creates menus and new recipes with the assistance of the restaurant manager, makes purchases of raw food items, trains apprentices, and maintains a sanitary and hygienic environment for the preparation of food.
• Sous-chef de cuisine (deputy kitchen chef; literally "sub-chief") – receives orders directly from the chef de cuisine for the management of the kitchen, and often serves as the representative when the chef de cuisine is not present.
• Chef de partie (senior chef; literally "chief of party"—party used here as a group or military detail) – is responsible for managing a given station in the kitchen, specializing in preparing particular dishes there. Those who work in a lesser station are commonly referred to as ademi-chef.
• Cuisinier (cook) – is an independent position, usually preparing specific dishes in a station; may also be referred to as a cuisinier de partie.
• Commis (junior cook) – also works in a specific station, but reports directly to the chef de partie and takes care of the tools for the station.
• Apprenti(e) (apprentice) – are often students gaining theoretical and practical training in school and work experience in the kitchen. They perform preparatory work and/or cleaning work.
• Plongeur (dishwasher) – cleans dishes and utensils, and may be entrusted with basic preparatory jobs.
  •  Marmiton (pot and pan washer) – in larger restaurants, takes care of all the pots and pans instead of the plongeur.
• Saucier (saucemaker/sauté cook) – prepares sauces and warm hors d'oeuvres, completes meat dishes, and in smaller restaurants, may work on fish dishes and prepare sautéed items. This is one of the most respected positions in the kitchen brigade, usually ranking just below the chef and sous-chef.
• Rôtisseur (roast cook) – manages a team of cooks that roasts, broils, and deep fries dishes.
  • Grillardin (grill cook) – in larger kitchens, prepares grilled foods instead of the rôtisseur.
  • Friturier (fry cook) – in larger kitchens, prepares fried foods instead of the rôtisseur.
• Poissonnier (fish cook) – prepares fish and seafood dishes.
• Entremetier (entrée preparer) – prepares soups and other dishes not involving meat or fish, including vegetable dishes and egg dishes.
  • Potager (soup cook) – in larger kitchens, reports to the entremetier and prepares the soups.
  • Legumier (vegetable cook) – in larger kitchen, also reports to the entremetier and prepares the vegetable dishes.
• Garde manger (pantry supervisor; literally "food keeper") – is responsible for preparation of cold hors d'oeuvres, prepares salads, organizes large buffet displays, and prepares charcuterie items.
• Tournant (spare hand/roundsman) – moves throughout the kitchen, assisting other positions in kitchen.
• Pâtissier (pastry cook) – prepares desserts and other meal-end sweets, and for locations without a boulanger, also prepares breads and other baked items; may also prepare pasta for the restaurant.
  • Confiseur – in larger restaurants, prepares candies and petits fours instead of the pâtissier.
  • Glacier – in larger restaurants, prepares frozen and cold desserts instead of the pâtissier.
  • Décorateur – in larger restaurants, prepares show pieces and specialty cakes instead of the pâtissier.
  • Boulanger (baker) – in larger restaurants, prepares bread, cakes, and breakfast pastries instead of the pâtissier.
• Boucher (butcher) – butchers meats, poultry, and sometimes fish; may also be in charge of breading meat and fish items.
• Aboyeur (announcer/expediter) – takes orders from the dining room and distributes them to the various stations; may also be performed by the sous-chef de partie.
• Communard – prepares the meal served to the restaurant staff.
• Garçon de cuisine (literally "kitchen boy") – in larger restaurants, performs preparatory and auxiliary work for support

    In this video, it show a disabled guy. But that is not the point because the point is how his disability doesn’t stop him from living his life and he is happy with it. Imagine we have a complete body, still in despair and there are up to kill themselves. Aren’t we shame on ourself? We should think about that very well.

        In this life, there is a time when we were at the top and bottom, be the winner or maybe the loser. But in this video, there’s moral values that it want to show. We should ask ourself, is losing failing? For this disabled guy, he don’t think so. Why? Because he believes that there are lots of successes but also lots of failures and it will repeats itself again and again. He also ask himself, should he despair everytime he go through? No, because he would feel that he is a failure. Same thing goes to we all. We should think just like him, ask ourself.

    This guy is really amazing. Even he is disabled but he is happy and his disability is not a barrier for him to have a life and many of the disables also same like him. He even say to himself, “If he never try, he will never achieve anything” and “If he fall, what should he do?” he said “he will try again and again because the moment he give up is the moment that he will fail”. We should make him as an example. We need to speak to ourselves, the words that raise the spirit in whatever we do because failure is not important, how we overcome it is.

Kau tahu kau buat ku rasa begini
Jauh ku kembara tetapi ku ingin kembali
Biarpun berlabuh malam
Tidak ku berhenti
Sebelum terlewat ingin yang terbaik untukmu
Takkan siapa mampu menghalang azamku
Inilah masanya pelajari sesuatu
Takkan ku tunggu lagi
Kini aku milik kamu
Buka mata cuba kau lihat
Bukalah minda kau kan bebas
Buka hatimu dan kau temu cinta
Dengarlah muzik ini lagu juga irama
Kita semua bersama
Punya hati jiwa untuk mahu dicinta
Cinta

Dan takkan ku sangsi
Aku pasti takkan tunggu lagi
Usah ragui masa lalu
Kini aku milik kamu
Dengar bisikan hatiku
Kau kan tahu cerita
Lama benar ku membelek diri di depan cermin
Berpusing menari pabila tiada sesiapa
Melihat rentakku sendiriku tertawa
Kini aku sedar tentang kehidupan ini
Tak perlu pura-pura jadilah diri sendiri
Itulah diriku
Dan kamu pun tahu

Takkan ku tunggu lagi
Kini aku milik kamu

Buka mata cuba kau lihat
Bukalah minda kau kan bebas
Buka hatimu dan kau tahu luas dunia
Dengar dengar dengarlah
Ikutlah rentak kita
Inilah masa untuk kamu percaya
