Interview with Chef Chay
1. Why did you pick cooking as a career?
My late father Chay Choon Char was a strict no-nonsense man and touted with respect for his Shanghainese cooking. He was my idol and I wanted to have that kind of respect in the kitchen so I decided to travel the same path.
2. Did you face any difficulties?
I started as an apprentice so you must have the interest and perseverance. The hours were very long and irregular and you must have self-initiatives to pick up ideas and techniques all the time.
3. Any special memories?
My late father was very strict and all through the years, he taught me nothing. Once I told my mother about this and she waited for my father to come home. She scolded him for not teaching me a thing or two. Father retorted as to how come I learn anything if he were to hold my hand to cook a dish. He felt I must learn through observation as cooking is a live art.
4. Was it a long climb for you in this industry?
I was an apprentice at 17 years old and become Executive Chef at 42 years old. I have been cooking for the last 25 years and am still experimenting with techniques and flavourings.
5. What are the duties of an Executive Chef:
1) Totally in-charge of kitchen operation and its administration work.
2) Kitchen rules have to be laid down and a network of teamwork planned.
3) Duties of everyone and how it will be related to work.
4) Look into the menu, purchasing of ingredients, promotion of certain dishes, look-out for new innovation products and the planning to purchase new equipment.
5) Check on kitchen work, what goes into a dish and inspection checks on the correct proportions.
6) Checks on fresh ingredients and the complaint lists by diners.
7) Checks on kitchen equipment, tools and utensils, to change or not to.
8) Meetings with other inter-related departments, F&B promotions, costing, purchasing terms.
9) Ensure cleanliness and safety aspects at the kitchen.
10) Guidance to staff, in-house training, planning strategy.
11) Reports to the F&B Director or G.M. on work related matters.
6. With 32 years of experience behind you, what are your words to young people who possess the same passion about food?
It is a job with career advancement but not everyone is cut-out to be one. To walk in the footsteps of a chef, you have to love food and must be nurtured continuously. Never stop learning as a good chef must be able to pick up new ideas, technique and how to fuse things together. Be conscious of how surroundings can have an effect on the food and if you do not have the passion, you can't stay on very long.
7. To an ordinary layman who is not a chef, how can this volume of "Chef's Secret Recipes" be helpful?
Everyone of us have different taste buds as some like it savoury and some like it on the light side. Ingredients do differ so to cook according to the book, you have to follow very precisely both ingredients and methods. Let your family decide on how good their family chef has churned out recently.

谢富强师傅访谈
1. 为何进入这行？
父亲已故谢春泽（外号大头虾，当时雪隆最有名气的上海菜名厨）在家是一个严父，在酒楼 是一名受到尊敬的上海菜大厨师。他是我的偶像，自小就想像他一样成为受人尊重的大厨 师，辍学后就跟他学厨艺。
2. 开始从事这个行业时面对什么难题？
以前由马皇（学徒）做起很辛苦，工作时间很长，厨房人手不够，一个人要负责多种工作， 不过拿到很多经验，基础扎实。
3. 有什么难忘的回忆？
父亲很严厉，跟随他多年，从来不教煮菜的工夫。有一天我忍不住向母亲抱怨，母亲等父亲回家时骂他：“自己的孩子都不教！” 父亲回应：“拿着你的手教你煮，你永远学不到东西。自己去看，去发觉！” 这句话如当头棒喝点醒我：让人家教而自己不动脑，工夫不会精。只有自己用心去研究，学得的才是最宝贵的经验，一生受用不尽。
4. 你如何才能爬至目前职位？
17岁出来做学徒，42岁才当上总厨。当25年厨师，不断创新菜式及酱料，认为自己已经有总厨的实力才接受这个职位。
5. 总厨的任务是什么？
总厨(厨房里的总司令)，任务繁杂：
1、全面负责厨房生产与管理工作。
2、制定厨房生产的运转程序和各项规章制度，并组织实施。
3、负责厨房生产任务的安排和工作协调。
4、负责菜单的筹划及更换，负责菜点规格或标准食谱的制定以及新品种的开发。
5、负责对厨房工作的控制和菜肴质量、卫生情况的检查。
6、定期征求餐厅对菜点质量和生产供应方面的意见，处理客人对菜肴质量的投诉。
7、负责制定厨房设备、工具、用具的更换及添置计划。
8、负责与相关部门的沟通及合作，做好菜点的销售、成本核算、设备维护、原料采购等工作。
9、检查厨房环境和生产过程的消防安全工作。
10、负责对部门员工的指导、培训、考核工作。
11、完成餐饮总监或总经理交办的其他工作任务。
6. 从事这个行业32年，你对想从事这个行业的年轻人有什么建议？
厨师是一个很有前途的工作，希望成为一个好厨师的基本条件是：一定要对品尝美食感兴趣，不只于满足口腹之欲，还要有热忱研究如何烹调这道美食的习惯。在一个行业能够达到成功者一定很专业，对他从事的行业了如指掌，同时抱着“敬业乐业”态度做事的人。
7. 一般人不是厨师，怎样根据这本《总厨拿手菜》煮出一桌好菜？
每个人口味不一样，有些人喜欢咸些，有些人喜欢淡点，买的材料可能也有出入。第一次跟据食谱学烹调时，一定要读清楚内容，然后跟足材料及做法。煮好的菜肴让家人尝试，收集各人意见后，才根据大家的口味调整调味料的用量。这样一来，你也可以成为家人心目中的大厨师。
