YOUNG PEOPLE AND COOKING

What kinds of things can children learn to cook?

Children can learn to cook a variety of dishes, depending on their age and ability. It is most ideal that children at a small age can learn to prepare simple, ready-to-eat meals such as sandwiches or salads. As they grow up, parents could teach children to cook more sophisticated dishes that require fluency in different cooking skills, as well as an understanding of how flavors resonate or contradict each other.

  • ready-to-eat meals (n): món ăn sẵn
  • sophisticated (adj): phức tạp
  • resonate (v): cộng hưởng (hương vị đồ ăn)
  • contradict (v): đối nghịch (hương vị đồ ăn)

Do you think it is important for children to learn to cook?

Yes, I believe it's crucial for children to learn how to cook. Cooking is an essential life skill that provides numerous benefits. Initially, it instills a sense of independence and self-reliance. Children who can cook for themselves are less dependent on others for their meals and can make healthier food choices.

Secondly, cooking is amongst the most practical ways to teach children about nutrition and the importance of a balanced diet. By firsthand participating in the food preparation process, they're likely to appreciate the benefits of fresh ingredients and be more conscious of what they eat.

  • a sense of independence (phrase): sự tự lập
  • firsthand (adj): tự mình làm

Do you think young people should learn to cook at home or at school?

I believe that both home and school environments foster a friendly and suitable environment for young people to learn cooking.

At home, children can learn from their parents or grandparents, picking up traditional recipes and family cooking techniques. It's a great way to bond with family members and create lasting memories. Plus, home-cooking can bring about a sense of independence and responsibility.

However, schools can provide a structured learning environment with careful instructions from a person of high skill. Students can get a chance to practice cooking a variety of cuisines, besides learning to master different cooking techniques, which would broaden their culinary horizons. Additionally, schools can emphasize the importance of healthy eating and nutrition through cooking classes.

  • picking up traditional recipes (phrase): học hỏi các công thức nấu ăn truyền thống
  • culinary horizons (phrase): tầm nhìn ẩm thực

 

WORKING AS A CHEF

How enjoyable do you think it would be to work as a professional chef?

I think being a professional chef could be incredibly enjoyable. The opportunity that one has to be fully immersed themselves with food and to experiment with different flavors is definitely appealing. There's a real sense of satisfaction that comes from creating a delicious dish that people love to eat.

However, it should be borne in mind that being a chef is also a demanding job. The long hours, physical exhaustion, and pressure to maintain high standards can be challenging. Additionally, the culinary industry is highly competitive, so chefs need to constantly strive for improvement to stand out.

  • immerse oneself with food (phrase): chìm đắm bản thân trong ẩm thực
  • culinary industry (phrase): ngành công nghiệp ẩm thực
  • strive for improvement (phrase): cố gắng cải thiện

What skills does a person need to be a great chef?

To be a truly outstanding chef, I believe a combination of both technical skills and creative flair is a must. Firstly, a strong foundation and grasp of culinary techniques, such as knife skills, mastering different cooking methods, and knowledge of various ingredients, is indispensable. Additionally, a great chef needs to possess excellent taste and the ability to balance flavors harmoniously.

Beyond that, creativity and innovation are key if chefs aspire to advance their careers. As the culinary world is constantly evolving, a chef must be able to experiment with new ingredients and techniques to create their one-of-a-kind and taste-stimulating dishes. Furthermore, good time management and organizational skills are vital in a high-pressure professional kitchen environment, as they need to serve a plethora of customers concurrently.

  • taste-stimulating dishes (n): các món ăn kích thích vị giác
  • concurrently (adv): cùng lúc

How much influence do celebrity/TV chefs have on what ordinary people cook?

Celebrity and TV chefs undoubtedly wield significant influence over what people cook at home. Their shows often showcase fascinating and unusual recipes, tempting viewers to experiment with new ingredients and techniques. Additionally, they can popularize certain cuisines or ingredients, which can lead to bursting demand and consumption.

However, it's worth considering that not everyone has the time, resources, or skills to re-create complex dishes from TV shows. Many are still loyal to traditional family recipes or quick and easy meal options. Moreover, the influence of these chefs might be more pronounced in younger generations who are more open to changes and alterations.

  • easy meal options (n): các lựa chọn bữa ăn dễ dàng
