The classic kitchen brigade system includes the following sections, departement or stations: Sauce section, Soup section, Roasr section, Fish section, Vegetable section, Larder section or Cold kitchen section, Pastry section. Every section has a section head, also called station cook or line cook or chef de partie, in French, each in charge of a station.
