I kind of misrepresented my experience in cooking and now I have a trial shift at a local place. It's for a prep cook but the honest truth is I've never worked in a restaurant before, I did some time in catering but that's it
I have a week and I plan on spending 4-5 hours each day practicing the fundamentals.
What should I work on? What should I buy?
If I'm handed a list of shit to prep, say 'julienne 5 kg of carrots' I'll know what to do but should I expect something more complicated?

Do I need to practice chiffonade or is it just obvious?

the way you walk.
the fact that you won't wash your hands 4 times before touching food again.
