How do you want to be an apprentice chef or pastry chef? Do you want to pay?
There is no need to learn from the apprentice like you said. This was the rule 95 years ago. Now there are fewer apprentices, and there are not many people who study the catering industry. Hotels now treat apprentices as hot potatoes, but if you want to find a good master, you have to have access. No one wants to find a 25-year-old master's degree to delay your future. The master of enlightenment must be experienced and qualified. As long as you study with an open mind, everyone is willing to give everything for you. If you learn, he will have face. Just go to see the master on vacation. You have to practice by yourself. I suggest you don't believe too much that most schools come out and say that theory is a set of practice. I can't compliment you. It's mainly because the master didn't teach you that you can enter the catering industry alone. Masters must rely on individuals to lead practice.
