BBC World Service - The Food Chain, Teaching tomorrow's chefs

Meet the culinary school lecturers training the next generation.

Why go to culinary school when you could learn on the job? 

Three trained chefs-turned teachers make the case for learning the basics and getting a qualification that could open doors in a competitive world.  

In this programme Ruth Alexander hears what it takes to be a great culinary teacher. She speaks to Gary Maclean, Executive Chef at City of Glasgow College in the UK, he’s Scotland’s national chef and won the BBC’s Masterchef the Professionals in 2016; Suzanne Storms, Assistant Professor at the Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong where she manages the culinary arts and management degree; and Alexandra Didier, Chef Instructor at Le Cordon Bleu Paris.
