    Some people are just so fast at cooking. My roommate makes the same food in a quarter of time I need and I guess it comes down to me spending so much time confused and doing unnecessary things.

      I’ve heard this is what distinguishes a chef proper from a home cook. Sure, your average Joe can cook up something scrumptious, but it takes a chef to understand the logistics and timing to get things prepped just in time, getting plates made at the same time, and ultimately just having everything finished at the same time.
