I am no general, just a foot soldier

A few people have written to me lately and said: "You must be a great chef!"
I merely shrug my shoulders, and write back a reply in which I quote Casey Ryback: "I'm just a cook".
The word "chef" is a French one, from chef de cuisine or, in English, "chief of the kitchen". He's the man in charge, who makes all the decisions - and doesn't do a lot of the work.
