Why Does a Cook Need a Chef Uniform?

Chef wear has a long tradition dating back hundreds of years to the monasteries of Medieval Europe. The original Chefs did not wear a uniform, as we know it today. When the aristocracies were being overthrown the artisans including what we now call 'chefs' sought refuge in the catholic and Greek orthodox monasteries run by the monks. The kind monks accepted these artists, sculptures and cooks and dressed them in the same robes they wore but rather than the pious dark coloured robes worn by monks they gave the artisans un-dyed robes. In this way, the cooks and other artisans looked like novice or apprentice monks and could easily be disguised as being part of the traditional order. For more details visit https://bluecutaprons.com/
