# Chef

You cook tasty meals for lots of people in a busy kitchen.

When you cook, you split a recipe into parts, measure just the right amount, and watch food change as it heats. School maths and science are the tools you use every single day.

## The topics behind it

- [Fractions of amounts](https://lightmysky.com/learn/mathematics/fractions-of-amounts-mt_cFltwUQi-d): You often need half or a third of the ingredients, so finding fractions of amounts is a daily job.
- [Proportion](https://lightmysky.com/learn/mathematics/proportion-mt_5mIcmKRCgA): Keeping the same balance of ingredients when you make more or less keeps the flavour steady.
- [Cooking and Food Preparation](https://lightmysky.com/learn/design-and-technology/cooking-and-food-preparation-mt_rEYrcOo7Vu): This is the heart of the job: preparing and cooking food well.
- [States of Matter Vocabulary](https://lightmysky.com/learn/science/states-of-matter-vocabulary-mt_1JFUNQDwAJ): Melting butter or boiling water are changes of state, and you use them all the time.
- [Buying Things](https://lightmysky.com/learn/life-skills/buying-things-mt_RNRymbz5SO): Buying the right amount of food at a good price keeps the kitchen running.
- [Comparing mass and weight](https://lightmysky.com/learn/mathematics/comparing-mass-and-weight-mt_-P1kdZhHbL): You weigh flour, sugar, and meat to get each recipe right.
