What kind of training have any of you had to become a chef at home? Were you already trained chefs?

Answer 1

most chefs attained learning from home, work and school like myself, there are those that are self taught, and learned from on the job training. I have had all three, plus owned a catering business

Answer 2

I'm not technically a chef, but I cooked at my own place. I was pretty much trained on the job every place I've been.
