A cook is someone who is a good cook who has not had formal training. A chef is someone who has been to culinary school and cooks in a restaurant and a sous-chef is an assistant or a helper for the chef.

A cook can be anyone. A sous chef is the person under the chef who also oversees the line cooks. The chef is the one with the actual degree and in charge over everyone. But he or she will delegate that to the sous chef.
