I enjoy cooking when I'm feeding other people.
But usually after a busy day at work, I don't enjoy cooking for myself.
Being a top chef requires passion, dedication and hard work.
Many chefs work 15 hours a day, six days a week, and busy kitchens cooking expensive food are very stressful places to work.
But first, I have a question for you now.
The top prize for any professional chef are Michelin stars, awards given to restaurants offering outstanding cooking.
But who is the winner of the most Michelin stars ever?
OK, we'll find out the answer later in this episode.
Born in South Africa, chef Chantal D'Artnol started her culinary career at a three Michelin star restaurant in the exclusive Mayfair area of London.
Here, she tells Ruth Alexander, presenter of BBC World Service programme The Food Chain, how it all got started.
Chantal sent her CV to the world's top restaurants.
CV is short for curriculum vitae, a document listing someone's education, qualifications and work experience, which they write when looking for a job.
In American English, it's called a resume.
Luckily for Chantal, the answer was yes, and learning her trade in a top London restaurant catapulted, meaning accelerated, her career.
Chantal's Mosaic restaurant is currently at the Chateau de Tenier in northern France, where it's listed among the top 200 restaurants in the world.
