Are you a kitchen control freak?

Chopping and peeling is your forte.

After all, those spuds aren’t going to peel themselves are they? As a nation of spud lovers, it is your duty to wash and peel and ensure only the best potatoes and vegetables make it through for the chop.

And when it's time for chopping, you know how to julienne and dice, you have your own way of slicing an onion – eye protectors and all – and you won’t have anyone tell you otherwise!

Of course the wine pourer brings the banter!

Keeping the chefs happy is your duty, there is no greater role than the wine pourer. Are you really cooking if you’re not enjoying a glass of wine at the same time?

And while you're keeping the wine glasses filled, you’re also the one on the side lines, bringing the craic. Nothing has to be perfect, but cooking for lots of people can be stressful, so your job is to tell as many stories and jokes as possible, which is easy really as it’s what comes naturally to you…

It’s not just anyone that can carve a roast. It takes a highly trained set of skills and you have got just those. You don’t let anyone else demolish the bird or rip apart the roast, you know the best way to slice to make sure everyone gets the best portion.

Obviously the Table Setter and Washer Upper go hand in hand. The best meals come from the best craic, but it’s also nice to ensure the dining table is set beautifully, and to complement the meal you’re eating. You’ll know that if you’re all sharing plates, you need to make space in the middle of the table, or have the right amount of plates and cutlery per course. Nothing gets past you, and your inspection of clean wine glasses is Michelin quality.

Then when the chefs are weary and the guests almost drifting off with full bellies, it is up to you once again, the hero of the washing up, to rise and clear away. If you’re lucky you’ll have a helper to dry, but getting those stubborn roasting, frying and grilling stains out of dishes is right up your street. If you’re really lucky though, you’ll have a dishwasher to stack instead!

Keen to learn, always peering over shoulders and taking it all in – the apprentice is the next generation of cooks in the house, and you are just that. This is the time to decide what role you’ll take on in the kitchen, perhaps you’ll perfect the chopping or peeling, or maybe you’ll want to bring the craic – either way, use your time wisely to get the most out of the experience.

The Taster in you ensures nothing gets on to the table without it passing your lips. And that also means being the Food Stylist to make sure what you're tasting looks the part.

As the meal comes together, you’re the one making sure everything looks pretty on the plate. You’re adding a sprig of rosemary to the lamb roast, you’re arranging the sharing plates and you’re definitely embracing the imperfections as who really needs to make it perfect all the time?!

Indeed, The Taster palette is distinct, you know when there’s too much spice, too little seasoning or not enough herbs. Your responsibility is ensuring as many “yum!” exclamations as possible around the dinner table. No pressure…

Nothing gets past you, and your inspection of clean wine glasses is Michelin quality.

The hero of the hour, you – the late comer – bring anything that has been forgotten. Icing to top the cake, spirits for the cocktails, extra crisps for the pre-dinner snacks. You’ve successfully dodged any part in cooking, but you’re the hero for making sure it all comes together in the end.
