About The Pass

The Pass is a chef telling you what the menu won't: how restaurant kitchens actually cook, what things really cost, and which bits of received kitchen wisdom are wrong. A YouTube channel, and a free newsletter that goes deeper than a short can.

Who writes it

A working chef in the UK. The venues and employers stay anonymous on purpose: the point is what happens in kitchens generally, not stories about one. The same person builds PrepSheet, the costing spreadsheets the numbers in the videos come off.

What the newsletter is

Technique that holds up on a real line, gear that earns its place, and less waste. Every issue is archived in full in the archive, and the gear that actually gets used is listed on The Kit. The videos are at youtube.com/@offthepass.

How it is paid for

Some links on The Kit and in issues are Amazon affiliate links: buy through one and Amazon pays a small commission, at no extra cost to you. PrepSheet's paid templates are the other half. There are no sponsored issues and no paid placements.
