"Anyone Can Cook"

    Everyone knows the movie “Ratatouille”.

    The whole story is based on one’s belief, said by the character “Gusteau” at the beginning: anyone can cook.


    Despite being a cartoon, it shows many things in the restaurant industry, since it’s based in real life.
    Through the character “Colette”, only women working in the Gusteau’s restaurant, and the main character “Remy”, we can see the passion and determination that it takes if we want to work with the best in the field, and be one of them.


    The message is clear: the blessing of having a gift can appear anywhere, but we only can succeed if we work hard, give our best and never give up.
    It also demonstrates how a kitchen works, what different workstations has, the stressful environment that can be and how they have the supplies.



    To conclude, using a Gusteau’s quote: "Good food is like music you can taste, color you can smell. There is excellence all around you. You need only to be aware to stop and savor it".
