Replacing a cook while keeping the menu consistent
A replacement cook benefits from a practical menu handover, not a demand to reproduce another person's style immediately.
Define the requirement
A replacement cook benefits from a practical menu handover, not a demand to reproduce another person's style immediately. Record regular dishes, portion sizes, family preferences and equipment quirks. Explain which preferences are essential and which can be adjusted after the new cook has settled into the kitchen.
Put it into practice
Prepare a short first-week menu and discuss it before the start date. Keep feedback specific: a serving time, texture or ingredient preference is easier to act on than a broad complaint. Review the menu after several ordinary meals and agree changes together rather than testing a new dish every day.
