thph2006 Posted June 8, 2007 at 05:27 PM Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 at 05:27 PM I'm doing research on Chinese food culture and I'm trying to understand the relationship between what people in the west call a chef and its Chinese counterpart. I'm also trying to put together a picture of the chef system/hierarchy in China. Things like how do prospective chefs train (where do they learn their craft), what is the progression to chef status, how is the kitchen work divided, if at all, between different types of chefs, who are the great chefs today. I'd like to start by understanding whether there actually is an analog to the western system. Does anyone know, is there a generally accepted list of the "great chefs" of China? Do any of you have any names, or contact information or the name of a known great restaurant or even the name of an organization or a book on the subject to get me started? Even the smallest tip would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
