With the improvement of people's living standards and the vigorous development of catering industry, the profession of chef has been respected and valued by people, and its social status has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Today's chefs, some were elected as people's representatives, some became general managers or department heads of hotels and restaurants, some became model workers, and some even took to the podium of colleges and universities. With the change of chef's social status, the social significance of chef's labor is more and more understood and recognized by people.

1. Chef is an indispensable force in the construction of human civilization.

People eat and drink, and diet is inseparable from the work of chefs. With the progress of social material civilization, the socialization of housework is an inevitable trend of historical development. With the arrival of intense and fast-paced social life, the eating habits mainly based on family cooking are bound to be replaced by public restaurants, canteens and mobile fast food. In this way, the chef's job will solve the worries of millions of people in life, and make people devote more energy to work, study and entertainment, thus freeing a large number of laborers from busy family cooking.

2. Chef is the promoter of social and economic construction.

Chefs create delicious food to meet the needs of social consumption, thus strengthening people's systems, promoting people's health, and ensuring that people have more energy and stronger physique to invest in social construction. At the same time, in the social benefits of providing quality services to consumers, it will also gain economic benefits for hotels. It is pointed out that the intermediary role of chefs in political, economic, cultural and diplomatic activities can not be ignored. In modern society, many communication activities are inseparable from catering activities. Therefore, in this sense, the chef's labor has become one of the powerful driving forces to guide consumers and promote economic construction.

Chef's future

1, the social role of chefs will become more and more important.

The fundamental driving force of social development lies in liberating productive forces. With the progress of social civilization and the continuous development of economic and cultural undertakings, the tertiary industry will become more and more developed. As the "leader" of the tertiary industry, the catering industry plays an increasingly important role in the industrial structure of human beings. After human beings step into a highly developed civilized society, the demand for food is getting higher and higher, and after the socialization of housework, the demand for delicious food in the whole society is also greater. The situation in China is also obvious. Before the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the catering industry in China was basically limited to the commercial system. However, with the development of economy, the catering industry is booming, and restaurants have been opened in all walks of life for more than 20 years. Large and small restaurants and restaurants are scattered all over the place, and the catering structure is also developing towards high-grade. From 65438 to 0993, after Comrade Deng Xiaoping's southern tour speech, the development of catering industry was further accelerated, and the social role of chefs was bound to increase.

2. The quality of chefs will be higher and higher.

One of the important signs of social development is the general improvement of people's quality, and the team of chefs is no exception. With the improvement of the social status of chefs, the history of "being illiterate and learning from chefs" has long since ended, and more and more educated young people have devoted themselves to cooking, which has greatly changed the overall thinking and cultural quality of chefs. Especially in recent years, cooking vocational education has flourished, cooking secondary technical schools and cooking vocational education have flourished, people have paid more and more attention to the research of cooking secondary technical schools and cooking art, and national and international cooking exchange activities have become increasingly frequent. All these provide a good social environment for training and bringing up a new generation of chefs. Looking forward to the future chefs, they are a group of experts, scholars and technical talents with good professional ethics, theoretical knowledge of cooking culture and science and good cooking skills.

3. Chef's working style and working conditions will greatly improve the development of culinary science, and make the chef's working style gradually transition from traditional experience to science and norms. The popularization of food machinery will greatly improve the working conditions of chefs. For example, the use of chopping machine will replace manual chopping, and the development of new cooking materials will greatly reduce the labor intensity of chefs; The use of new combustion and new cooking stoves makes chefs less affected by "three wastes" pollution. In short, with the development of science and technology, the image of a chef in front of people will no longer be an illiterate, black-faced and greasy "chef", but a gourmet with literary skills and elegant temperament.
