This notion that being a chef is an unsckild line of work. Shourly isn't helped by the fact that when they are still in college they rarely get the chance to do hands on work, the way they used to. I'm told that they now watch the work and write about it rather than do the job for them self.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
