Hello,
I heard (and read) in Japan the apprenticeship of a cook lasts for 9 years!
I couldn't even imagine to be an apprentice for 9 years! In Germany most apprentices quit prematurely although they only need to learn for 3 years...
A German chef who had worked in Hongkong told me that Asian cooks are actually superior...
What do you think about all that? Should a chef-to-be go to Japan instead of France or Italy?
