What are the qualities of a good chef?

A good chef needs to have the qualities and qualifications:

Cultural requirements. Learning to be a chef requires a certain amount of cultural knowledge and a certain amount of tolerance and judgment, and learning chef cooking can apply for a relevant culinary school or go directly to a place where you can engage in catering services with a master or directly.

Conduct ethically. The chef has a level and cultivation.

As a chef in socialist China, according to the particularity of the culinary profession, the following points should also be put forward: first, work wholeheartedly; the second is to love the dedication of their own work; The third is to love the collective.

Physical requirements. Chef work is a kind of intense labor, to become a qualified chef, from physical fitness.

Speaking of which, the first thing is to have a healthy physique. The work of a chef is hard, not only is the workload heavy, but also relatively heavy. Whether it is processing, cutting, or cooking, it takes a lot of physical effort.

You can't bear it without a healthy physique, and besides, the chef must have a strong tolerance.

Chef work is different from ordinary work, often going to work in front of people and leaving work behind people; Do it in front of people, eat it behind people. There are even times when business is so busy that you can't even eat a full meal. In addition, it has to withstand the high temperature before the furnace, the smoke of oil smoke and so on.

The characteristics of this kind of professional labor require the chef to have a strong tolerance.

He is proficient in the culinary knowledge of multi-flavor dishes and the key techniques in the whole process of food processing. Able to adjust the variety of dishes in a targeted, timely and flexible manner, and have the ability to develop and improve dishes.

1. A qualified chef should not only have a healthy body and solid skills, but also have a good overall quality. It includes a person's talent, knowledge, concepts, behavior, ability, etiquette, politeness, clothing, appearance, and many other aspects.

2. The chef is a technician, including knife work, side dishes, heat, raw materials, hair and other professional basic skills, if the basic skills are not solid, it is impossible to use scientific methods to process, change the knife, side dishes, cooking. It can also be said that without solid basic skills, it is impossible to cook dishes that are excellent, fragrant, flavorful, and shaped.

3. As a modern chef, you should not only learn techniques from your master, but also learn more cultural knowledge. Only in this way can we understand the science of raw materials, nutrition, culinary chemistry, culinary aesthetics, and so on related to cooking. Only in this way can we continuously learn new knowledge and continuously improve our cultural quality and competitiveness.

4. In the future catering industry, the competition will be more intense, and the competition between chefs will inevitably intensify. More and more employers are not only limited to technical aspects in the selection of chefs, but also consider them from the aspects of theoretical knowledge, comprehensive quality and invisible personality. For chefs, personality is culinary ethics.

Virtue is the teacher of talent and the foundation of career achievement.

1. To be the highest level of excellence in the pursuit of a good chef. Excellent chefs must have good kitchen ethics, and cultivating good kitchen ethics can make chefs successful and make achievements in the industry. Therefore, kitchen ethics is the foundation of being a good chef.

2. To be a good chef, you must have superb cooking skills.

Culinary skills are the key to a chef's foothold. To be a good chef, one must possess great skill. For example, an excellent Hunan cuisine chef must not only be proficient in Hunan cuisine, but also have access to other cuisines.

How can you have exquisite cooking skills? First, we should start from scratch in learning art. Learning art is a painstaking, long-term process.

Learning is boundless, chefs must persevere, persevere, do not give up halfway or stagnate, start from the most basic and basic, step by step, and have a never-satisfying drill energy. Especially now, with the rapid change of food consumption and the diversification of customer consumption, chefs are required to base themselves on tradition and continue to innovate. Chefs should learn from each other's strengths, learn from others' strengths, and develop in an all-round way in theory and practical operation.

The second is to pass on art with a broad mind. In my 40 years of culinary career, I have trained nearly 1,000 students, more than 100 of whom have become senior chefs and have become the backbone of hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and restaurants. I think that after a chef becomes famous, he should make a contribution to the culinary career, not regard his cooking skills as personal wealth, but unreservedly pass on his knowledge to those who love his job and love the industry, and cultivate more students and apprentices who are diligent and studious and have a promising future.

3. To be a good chef, you must have affection for the company and your customers.

What I talk about is that we should put the promotion of development and meet the needs of customers in the first place in our work, put personal interests behind, and work with feelings. I think this is an indispensable quality for a good chef.

4. To be a good chef, you must have a good mood.

Product quality is the lifeline of an enterprise. As the direct producer of the dishes, if the chef does not have a good mood and a healthy attitude during the cooking process of the dishes, the quality of the dishes will inevitably be affected, thus leaving a bad impression on customers and affecting the reputation of the enterprise. "Kitchen ethics, cooking skills, feelings, and mood" are the necessary qualities of an excellent chef.

An excellent chef must use his own practical actions to match his words and deeds, so as to make himself have a more brilliant future in the culinary career.

1. As a chef, you must first have a spirit of "boiling".

The so-called "three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion", there is no distinction between high and low in the industry, and you can become a talent if you do a good job. But the chef industry does have its own particularities, first of all, the working environment is not very good, and it is basically subject to smoke and fire on weekdays, especially in summer, which will be very uncomfortable, and of course physical strength is also a problem.

But that's not the point, it's about time. One is that the time to get off work is too late, and the other is that everyone else has a fixed weekend break or holiday, and this time is the time when the restaurant comes to business, and the chef is the busiest at this time. When a normal family is having leisure and entertainment, the chef's family is not reunited, and I, the chef friends, feel almost the same way about this, sometimes I feel sorry for my family and it is very painful.

I have a friend who used to be very passionate about the chef industry, and he does have a talent for being a chef, and he was very motivated at the beginning, but he only persisted for a few years and quit. This industry can be described in this way, the only way for a chef is actually a "boil" word, if you can stay up, you will be outstanding, if you can't stay up, you will be out, it's that simple.

2. A qualified chef, cooking is only the surface, the key is to have the ability to comprehend.

I have a lot of insight into this, because these chef friends, the difference between them is really too big. Regarding the ability to perceive, I feel that it should be divided into two parts, the first is to have a relevant food culture, which is very important, and the key to the level of chef's ability comes from here.

I have a friend who has been in a big hotel for several years, I am very impressed with him, he knows the north and south cuisine, the eight major cuisines well, and has read a lot of books on food culture, such as the Qing Dynasty gourmand Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List", he has read it many times, with theoretical knowledge as the backing, the level is definitely not bad, he went out to a large hotel in a first-tier city as a chef, it has been many years, and now he still remembers him vividly.

In addition, it is necessary to know the principle behind each dish, why the heat is important, why the ingredients are treated this way, why the operation sequence is arranged this way, and why the seasoning is used this way.

Third, familiar with the road. This is the case with a friend who has been cooking for many years, and is still at the level of a food stall cook

I think that as an excellent chef, you should first have good morality, and only with good morality can a chef succeed and have a certain reputation in the industry, and morality is the foundation of a chef.

Secondly, it is necessary to have superb cooking skills, as well as fine knife skills, to master the heat of each dish properly, to ensure that the seasoning is palatable, and to have a certain understanding of the cooking methods and skills of other cuisines.

Thirdly, there should be a certain amount of creativity, and in the case of existing dishes, it is necessary to constantly introduce dishes, which will not only be of great help to the chef himself, but also to the entire restaurant and restaurant, and can attract more customers.

Fourth, what you should have is your own chef qualification certificate, which is not only a proof of the chef's identity, but also an important certificate for future job hunting, salary negotiation or opening your own store, which is very helpful to chefs.

1. To be the highest level of excellence in the pursuit of a good chef. Excellent chefs must have good kitchen ethics, and cultivating good kitchen ethics can make chefs successful and make achievements in the industry. So to speak:

Culinary ethics are the foundation of being a good chef. Good kitchen ethics mainly include the following four elements: First, we must love the industry and base ourselves on our own duties.

Second, it is necessary to work in a down-to-earth manner and strive for excellence. As a chef, you can't be pretended, and every dish must go through a strict process. Third, we must be modest and prudent, and persevere.

Fourth, we should be friendly and respectful of our predecessors. Our skills are the accumulation of experience of our predecessors, so we must respect our predecessors, learn from our predecessors, and be friendly with our peers.

2. To be a good chef, you must have superb cooking skills. Culinary skills are the key to a chef's foothold. To be a good chef, one must possess great skill.

Learning art is a painstaking, long-term process. Learning is boundless, chefs must persevere, persevere, do not give up halfway or stagnate, start from the most basic and basic, step by step, and have a never-satisfying drill energy. After the chef becomes famous, he must make great contributions to the culinary career, not regard his cooking skills as personal wealth, but unreservedly pass on his knowledge to the scholars who love their own profession and love the industry, and cultivate more students and apprentices who are diligent and studious and have a promising future.

3. To be a good chef, you must have affection for the company and your customers. Affection is to put the promotion of development and meet the needs of customers in the first place in the work, put personal interests behind, and work with feelings. This is an indispensable quality for a qualified chef.

4. To be a good chef, you must have a good mood. Product quality is the lifeline of an enterprise. As the direct producer of the dishes, if the chef does not have a good mood and a healthy attitude during the cooking process of the dishes, the quality of the dishes will inevitably be affected, thus leaving a bad impression on customers and affecting the reputation of the enterprise.

Chefs should overcome these bad emotions, enhance psychological endurance, improve psychological quality, and maintain a good state of mind. An excellent chef must use his own practical actions to match his words and deeds, so as to make himself have a more brilliant future in the culinary career Fuzhou South China Chef Training School pays attention to cultivating each student's "kitchen ethics, cooking skills, feelings, and mood". With a responsible attitude towards the professional quality of chefs and the health of consumers, our school will continue to explore these four concepts.
