Going to culinary school in China is something I never thought I would do. But now I’m here, in Chengdu, Sichuan, at the Sichuan Higher Institue of Cuisine on a 2 year+ 1 year internship to being a Sichuan chef.

I just dropped out of my masters in international trade to come here. This is what I really want to do, and I’ll be sharing journey of becoming a Sichuan cook with you. After living in Asia 3 years and being completely spoiled by the abundance of delicious and cheap street food in China, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, and India I’ve had no incentive to cook. It’s so easy and fun to hit the street and eat new food all the time, so I honestly think in 3 years, I’ve cooked less than 10 meals for myself. As I explored the Shanghai food scene last month, It dawned on me as I was about to enter my 3rd semester at the economics school here in Sichuan that I was studying there for no reason, what I really wanted to do is continue to create content and resources for YOU, through videos and text. I was merely studying there because I thought it was a good backup plan if foodrangin’ failed. But now I feel confident it won’t. I realized that I’m really good at eating, decent at producing videos and planning them out, alright at describing flavours, but, I can’t back it up with culinary skills. Over the last 2 years I’ve been bothered by this, until I recently watched the classic Julie and Julia and learned that even Julia Child herself couldn’t cook an egg when she entered the cordon bleu in France. So here we go, I’m going full in. I’m 100% committed to this.

I’m going to learn to cook Sichuan cuisine, and it’s all starting here. This is the beginning of my new journey. And I want you to follow along with me.

I had an insane first few days at school, and as you can see, my skills are not there, but I’m going to keep a positive mind through all the times I stumble and mess up and really do my best to learn and create some delicious food. Follow my instagram (thefoodranger) for updates of all these adventures, and I’m going to start keeping track of the recipes that we learn once I get settled in a little more. Leave me a commend down below letting me know what you thought guys, thanks a lot!

I’m still planning on doing my Chinese + Indian street food tour videos, alongside these vlogs of my journey through culinary school.

    HUGE THANKS to ExpressVPN for offering all Food Ranger viewers 3 months free and 49% off their yearly package using this link: https://ExpressVPN.com/Thefoodranger . Travelers need ExpressVPN to stay safe online and to unblock any site. I personally use it for Netflix, even while at home in Canada, but also while traveling to unblock content and episodes that are geoblocked, and I also use it for security, because airport wifi and hotel wifi is often very insecure, leaving my data vulnerable. By connecting to one of their servers around the world, it’s just like my computer or phone is in that location, and all data sent while connected to their VPN is secure, safe, and private from others to see, so I know that my data won’t be hacked or looked at by others. Thanks so much for watching, and we have tons more videos coming up for you! Please leave me a comment below letting me know what you thought about this episode, thanks so much!!!

    Sooooooooooo……………..one and done?? Four and a half years later and I didn't see any other videos about your culinary school experience. I would have thought that graduation would merit a video at the very least.

    Hi, I studied at a culinary school in Bangkok for two momths. I was one of only two students to do the Grand Master Professional Thai Chef Diploma. We learned 220 dishes, as well as fruit carving and Royal Thai cuisine. It was transformational for me. Since then I have returned to the UK; we sold our house last year and emigrated to France and now I want to set up a culinary school and retreat centre. We just found the place for it and are waiting for the paperwork to come through. I am so excited – for you and for me too. I love what you are doing and really wish you well. By now, you will have finished your course. I would love to stay in touch with you. Where are you based now? My email is ingrid.burling@mac.com.

    Dear Food Ranger,
    Very happy you joined culinary school! I have been an avid fan of your videos and I completely agree with you that you have found your calling. I am just trying to imagine how technical your videos will be in future once you finish culinary school!

    I guess that's what Asians feel like when others mock them for trying to speak English. Forgive my people, there are so many people there but not everyone can afford proper education and are still a bit behind in regards to humanity. Though I'm sure you know not all of them are like that as you were living there for so long.
