Many chefs work passionately to turn food into works of art.
If Robert Unsworth hadn't been passionate about cooking since childhood, becoming a chef would have immediately killed his pleasure in the job. Standing all day on rock-hard cement floors, often without a single break, strained his back for the eight years he worked as a cook. He tolerated grueling 12-hour days and collapsed after work. The final blow, however, wasn't the punishing seven-day work week or the low pay, but constant exhaustion and back pain that eventually required surgery. These days, the only cooking Unsworth does is at home.
