I have been a chef for more than 21 years. I have studied authentic Beijing roast duck and hot and cold dishes, and I have been learning cooking with my master since I was a teenager. Let me share my experience with you.

In the past, I studied as a chef because I wanted to learn a craft because of the poor conditions at home. I also took many detours in the middle. There was no tuition fee for going to school. I only had to work in a restaurant to save tuition fees and earn some extra money. At that time, I mainly studied crafts, and earning money was secondary.

Times are different now. There are fewer people studying as chefs, and it's hard to find apprentices, and no one pays them. If you like chefs, you can go to a professional chef school to study, where you can systematically learn theoretical knowledge and practice operation, but the tuition is not cheap. Last year, I came here as an apprentice, studied in the chef school for two years, and spent nearly 71,111 yuan. After coming to me, I can't do anything, I have no practical ability, I can't do knife work, and I can turn over pots. It is estimated that I have turned over sand in school. There is still less time and limited things to see.

It is suggested that you don't spend too much time in the chef school, which is really a waste of time. The best way is to study in a hotel. It is best to have relatives or friends, and a master who is willing to take you and teach you, so that you can learn things, knowledge and skills. Now, it is the truth that popular masters accept apprentices. There is a platform, a development and a future. Who doesn't learn from teachers? If you fight alone, it can be said that it is difficult to learn the craft. It is necessary to give the master some benefits appropriately. You can not only earn some salary, but also learn something, so the best way is to study in a hotel.
