I take photos of all the food that I cook ( salad bar, hot bar, puree meals, soups, desserts etc.). I also have a book of my own recipes. I would also ask if there are recipes for particular menu items. Also you might want to briefly describe what you do as a cook. Starting with turning on your fans, ovens and ending with your cleanup and lights out.

Well I don't have a book of my own recipes but this is what I did do when I was trying to get my 1st job as a cook. It was at a retirement home. I offered to demonstrate my cooking up something for them to try. They were impressed and hired me.

My first instinct is to ask you a million questions like...What kind of cook? Where? Do you have previous experience? Experience in a similar role your applying for?This is important information that i'd prefer having to provide the best advice I could. But even without all that info, the best advice is to just be yourself (lame. I know. But true.) Just let your personality shine through and show your passion for cooking and how eager you are to learn more. I always always ALWAYS do my research on the restaurant and study the menu. It shows the KM/chef your prepared and serious about the position. Never be afraid to ask questions. I like to ask questions because I'm a curious person, but also because it can showcase my knowledge at the same time. I ask about the equipment like fryers/grills and the methods/processes of cleaning at the end of the night. Then respond with "ok I've worked with automatic oil filtering machines previously" or "I've only filtered fryers with the cone n filter method from the stone age, so your method would be exciting to learn" or "i prefer to clean flat tops with pickle juice/vinegar, it works better and doesn't have the harmful chemicals of the comercial cleaning products". Plus pickle juice is free!!!
