A:
A cook is a household staff member responsible for food preparation. The term can refer to the head of kitchen staff in a great house or to the cook-housekeeper, a far less prestigious position involving more physical labour.
Chef is a term commonly used to refer to an individual who cooks professionally. Within a restaurant however, chef (French for chief or head) is often only used to refer to one person: the one in charge of everyone else in the kitchen. This is usually the executive chef.

A:
Technically, a "chef" is a person who has been graduated from a recognized culinary institute: A cook is a person who prepares meals. Many of us are "good cooks", but few of us are "chefs".

A cook knows HOW to do certain things.
A chef KNOWS HOW AND WHY those certain things are done that way. A chef KNOWS HOW to work WITH the staff AND WITH management. A chef is the kitchen's manager.
