Fecha de emisión: Ago 21, 2013

Traditionally, Chinese chefs always start out as apprentices, helping with cleaning and other chores. Whether or not he or she can pick up the spatula, learn to cook well and even be promoted to head chef is determined by natural talents, and more importantly, by how much you can secretly learn from observing your master. The lucky ones might even get a few tips from experienced chefs. Ever since the establishment of a Chinese cooking school though, many executive chefs at the new generation of Chinese restaurants actually received their trainings from the school. Students at the institute are no longer kids who failed school, but are a group of passionate young people dreaming of becoming excellent chefs. Even young people who already have experience working in kitchens are choosing to take courses at the school to learn more systematically. How is the new generation of Chinese chefs trained? How do students apply kitchen ethics in real life situations? What kind of philosophies and principles have they learned from the kitchens? Three generations of Chinese chefs will share their kitchen stories.
