Explanation:

CORRECT
CONT – The Prep Cook is an early step in the training of most professional kitchens. In a very large organization the prep cook might peel bags of potatoes, mince pounds and pounds of garlic, chop forests of fresh herbs, and dice mountains of onion. In smaller kitchens, in addition to preparing raw ingredients, it might be the prep cook's job to prepare parts of specific dishes. For example, the prep cook might make the batter and cook the buckwheat blini to be served under that night's caviar special, or caramelize the sliced carrots that will serve as a bed for a piece of veal.
