I earned a little money by working outside, and I feel that it is boring to work like this all the time. I want to learn a superb craft, and I won't worry about it in the future. Remember, I can cook in junior high school, and it is a common practice. The smell of fire is ok, which is a little "experience". So I want to learn some real cooking in professional cooking school! You can watch it online. Many people say that school can't learn anything, it's all theory without practice! Personally, I don't think it is possible. Like those chef schools, it is impossible to attach importance only to theory and not to practice! I'm confused. If so, why do so many people go to school to learn to cook? Really can't learn the real skill? I think with my own conditions, should I go to school to learn to cook or go to a restaurant to learn to cook? I'm confused. I'm really afraid that I won't learn anything when I go to school! I'm afraid I'll be fooled when I go to the hotel!

Expert advice:

There is no denying that you can learn the skills of a chef in a hotel, and you can learn it well if you work hard, and it doesn't cost money. However, if you want to achieve something on your own cooking road, it is more appropriate to go to a professional chef school.

First: A chef needs many raw materials and seasonings, such as pork, fish, oil and salt. How can the hotel provide it for free?

Second: Generally, hotels above three stars will not allow chefs to take apprentices to study. Only small and medium-sized restaurants can allow apprentices. Although I pay a little money every month, I seldom have time to talk to you, because my master is also very busy. If you ask him, he will feel particularly annoyed and won't say much. Tired at the end of the day, I still can't learn anything, and I have to be scolded. To learn real skills, we still need to find some practical cooking school to learn. After a year, I have all the documents, and the most important thing is to learn the technology well. I recommend visiting Chengdu New Oriental cooking school. They combine practical operation with theoretical knowledge.

Third: the hotel will not accept a chef without basic skills, so most people have no chance to study in the hotel. However, the one-year and two-year students of Chengdu New Oriental cooking school are guaranteed to be recommended for employment in star-rated hotels. Only those who have graduated from chef school have the opportunity to study in hotels, and they can enter star-rated hotels as soon as they graduate.

Fourth: In cooking school, you can receive formal basic training, with the hands-on guidance of teachers. It doesn't matter if you are wrong, you can come again. Not in the hotel! And when the hotel is busy, the master usually doesn't have enough time to teach the staff alone.

Fifthly, in the Chef School, we can learn the cooking methods commonly used in China, such as burning, frying and sliding, and the basic principles of yellow sauce paste, and put them into practice. Students have a solid basic knowledge in school, and after graduation, they can better see the works of masters, have more eyes and make faster technological progress.

In addition, a good cook is not equal to a good teacher. The key is to "teach". There are many skilled teachers in the hotel, but the teachers in the chef school are not only skilled, but also trained in pedagogy and psychology and know how to "teach". Schools have better teaching and research activities. Constantly increase and improve the teaching content, so that students can better meet the social requirements.

Seventh: Generally speaking, chef schools have more and closer ties with hotels in the society, which makes it easier for students to find hotels suitable for their own types and change them after graduation.

Eighth: you should go to school to master theoretical knowledge first, and there are many internship opportunities in school; For example, Chengdu New Oriental cooking school combines theory with practice to make you feel more comfortable and sublimate your theoretical knowledge when you practice in hotels and restaurants. You should know that an army without culture is a stupid army. If you learn, you will know, and you don't know why.
