★ Young people and cooking
1 What kinds of things can children learn to cook?
Well,children can learn to cook a whole range of dishes,from quick and easy snacks like sandwiches and fruit salads to more complex meals like dumplings,stir-fried vegetables and soups.
They can also whip up a batch of cookies,cakes or other desserts if they're feeling fancy.
Generally speaking,the key is to start with simple recipes and gradually move up to more complex ones as they build their skills and confidence in the kitchen.Apart from that,children can broaden their culinary knowledge by exploring other cuisines,such as Western or Japanese.

2 Do you think it is important for children to learn to cook?
Absolutely,in my opinion,it's essential for children to learn how to cook.It not only teaches them practical life skills but also helps them develop a better understanding and appreciation of food.Plus, cooking teaches children to be patient,organized,and responsible as they learn to plan,shop for and prepare meals on their own.Additionally,cooking can be a fun and rewarding experience for children, as it allows them toexpress their creativity,experiment with flavours and textures,and take pride in their culinary creations. Lastly,cooking can bring families together,as parents and children can bond over the preparation and enjoyment of meals.

3 Do you think young people should learn to cook at home or at school?
Honestly,I believe that young people should learn to cook both at home and at school.
Cooking at home can be a great way for kids to connect with their families,pass down traditional recipes,and learn about their cultural heritage.
Plus,it can be a more relaxed and personal environment that encourages experimentation and creativity.
On the other hand,cooking at school can provide a more structured and educational experience that exposes children to new recipes,techniques,and cuisines.
It can also help them develop their teamwork and communication skills, as they work along side their classmates to prepare meals.So,I think it's important for children to have access to both settings.

★ Working as a chef
1 How enjoyable do you think it would be to work as a professional chef?
Well,being a professional chef can be really enjoyable if you love cooking and are passionate about food.But let's not forget that it's also a very demanding and stressful job that requires a lot of hard work,long hours and creativity.For example,you have to stand for long hours,carry heavy pots and pans and work in a hot and sometimes cramped environment. On to pof that,working as a chef means that you are often judged by peers,critics and customers,which can be a source of stress and anxiety In a nutshell,it can be a remarkable and rewarding career,but it's not for everyone.

2 What skills does a person need to be a great chef?
To become a great chef,you need a combination of technical skills,creativity,and a passion for cooking.
Firstly,a chef must have strong basic cooking techniques,like chopping,grilling,and baking.
They also need to have a deep understanding of ingredients and how to use them to create unique and flavorful dishes.But in my view,it's creativity that really sets a chef apart.
They need to be able to develop new recipes,experiment with ingredients,and present their dishes in a way that's visually appealing.
And finally,passion is an essential ingredient for success in the culinary world.I mean,cooking can be hard work and requires long hours,so chefs need to truly love what they do to excel in this profession.

3 How much influence do celebrity/TV chefs have on what ordinary people cook?
Well,I think they have a big impact on people's cooking habits.
For a start,they bring new recipes and techniques to the table and make cooking exciting and approachable.
People love their personalities and expertise ,and often look to them for guidance on what ingredients,tools,and cookware to use.
Another point is they do popularize certain food trends like avocado toast and kale salads.
But it's worth noting that not everyone can whip up the fancy dishes we see on TV.
So,while celebrity chefs can inspire and teach us a lot,ultimately,its up to us to decide what we want to cook and how we want to do it.
