These ones has only fixed elements that appear in same place on every page.
Basically the title and four icons indicating the menus would appear on index page, then on click the content box appears and the menu slides down under it.

Content
We need to decide on the content.
Initial ideas are for :
> About:
Short biography, any information the client would wish to display of himself, maybe with a photograph, if desired.
> Cuisine / Food:
A display of the food the client makes, with description for (/under) each. Still need to do sketches for the design and arrangement of thumbnails/ full view etc.
> CV:
Embedded in page, and also downloadable as a pdf. Need to ask client about his thoughts.
> Contact:
Contact information displayed or contact form perhaps? Again, need to discuss it with the client.
> additional
We will see how it goes after our first few discussions with the client.

Researching Chef Websites
Most of the websites I have found were either outdated or merely kept as portfolio websites, displaying the works done.
Here are some websites that had notable content:
Dominique Crenn's website has the required amount of information and is well organised. However I felt the theme was a bit too dark for a chef, and the are too small. However, this had no flash in it, even though it looked like a Flash website at first. (But it still feels a bit old).
Original website at: Dominique Crenn [accessed on the 21st of April, 2010]
Mary Beth's website has good design (except the "portfolio text in the corner which doesn't really fit) and is pleasing to go through. It provides every necessary information, and has details about the food in the gallery. However, it is fully Flash, something I would like to avoid (despite portfolio websites being Flash very often).

The Chef Jeff wesbite is fully Flash, and it lacks organisation for its information. The main section in which information is stroed feels cramped and the food images have no details or description about them. I personally did not feel the colours appealing either, and some pages are left blank without any message to display.

Jamie's website, as expected, is highly professional and has a lot of areas to cover. This is not the same outcome we would wish for, but I still had a look through his website, for colours, and how they have attempted to capture the "chef-style".
What I liked about his website is the recipes' section, which was a kind of portfolio of dishes, but with additional cooking instructions and tips. However, I felt the website was strognly focused on commercialising instead of food, but that is understandable given the circumstances of his popularity.
