Many famous foreign chefs even have many star-like fans! But what many China chefs lack most is social respect and recognition. China chefs lack insight and structure. The famous chef, Mr. Da Dong, combined his cooking experience with the current situation of chefs in China, pointed out: "What China chefs lack is not knives and cooking skills, but the insight of going out! Knowledge comes from walking! " Therefore, in addition to learning cooking, teacher Dadong will go around the world every year to find ingredients, find inspiration for developing new dishes, and understand the tastes and eating habits of different regions.
If you can win the heartfelt recognition of others, of course you can get the respect you deserve! This is the best answer I have ever heard about how to make chefs gain social respect! The improvement of self-worth comes from the growth of knowledge and the expansion of mode. When you can respect and understand the ingredients, then add the correct cooking methods according to the diners' dietary needs and present them to the diners with your heart, respect and word of mouth will naturally follow. China chefs lack the cultural background of the traditional chef industry. Chefs' cultural quality is generally not high, and they lack high comprehensive quality. So chefs don't make a good impression. Times are changing. Chef's thinking should keep pace with the times. At present, it is not enough for chefs in China to cook.
They also need to fully understand ingredients, food nutrition knowledge, inherit food culture, be good at cooking in different countries, and even be good at management. Therefore, it is necessary to learn various cultural theories, improve comprehensive literacy, and avoid encountering the upper limit because of the lack of comprehensive literacy in career development. A new generation of chefs with high cultural quality has also injected new blood into the cooking field. The lack of communication and unity among chefs in China is due to the fact that the chef industry depends on craftsmanship, and many chefs rely on recipes and secret recipes to make money. As the saying goes, "teach disciples to starve to death", many chefs are conservative about their own skills, for fear that others will rob them of their jobs.
In addition, the circle of chefs is relatively small, lacking the necessary communication. If we can break the closed and conservative mentality and communicate more, we can learn from each other, learn from each other's strengths and make progress together! Chefs in China lack welfare and rest time. A chef friend who didn't work overtime for five consecutive days during the National Day said angrily, "China chefs currently lack the biggest welfare, five insurances and one supplement, high temperature fees and overtime subsidies on holidays." After all, the current situation of the catering industry is poor working environment, high work intensity and lack of welfare protection.
