Cooking and Pop Culture


It is perfect that pop culture are linked with dessert making. Being a chef is one of my dreams when I was little. However, there are many of TV shows and movies convinced me to be a chef in the future. One of my favorite TV shows that related to cooking and baking are called Top Chef: Just Dessert. In this show, it mainly tests pastry chef’s cooking skills, creativity, imagination, and team awareness. Chefs need to come up with their own ideas about their dessert. In addition, it is a challenge that chefs are in race to finish their showpieces in a limit time either in individual or group work.  Thus, this is one of the reasons I would want to be a chef.

Without doubt, being a chef is not that easy. It contains many challenges, techniques, and skills. Nutrition and food science are the courses are required to take for this area, not only that, it shapes ourselves to be more creative, and make life goes colorful!

Special terms that associated with this field:
