Hi Linda, I’m not sure why you’ve been advised this. Onions are the basis of flavour in many dishes so I wouldn’t make a stew without them. I can’t see any reason not to include them. Did your advisor give you a reason?

Hi. That will greatly depend on the quality of the dining establishment! You will be perfectly safe to complain in any proper restaurant from bistro to michelin star quality. You’d probably be ok in a pub where food is their primary business too. Especially if it is privately owned. Where, as a chef, I definitely wouldn’t complain is in a pub chain. As with everything, you get what you pay for…

Hi Sharon, It’n not really something I worry about, maybe I should. Can any chefs out there confirm or deny this?

I read with interest your comments on complaining to the waiter, I think one of the main reasons we don’t is because we are afraid of what they will do to the food once it has been taken away and replaced. Its not very professional, but believe me it does happen.
