Pastry Chef Alex Xue shares about his advice on how to handle an internship at a 5-star hotel
饼房厨师长薛琦的建议分享–如何在五星级酒店实习
On Sunday, October 8th, the SYB team had the pleasure to welcome again Chef Alex from the Pullman South Shanghai Hotel, to share some tips and pieces of advice with the Young Bakers. Indeed, two weeks after, the students were going to start a new chapter in their training: they would become interns at some of the best 5-star hotels in Shanghai.
10月8号（星期日），海上青焙坊的团队们再次迎来了中星铂尔曼的饼房厨师长薛琦，与学员们一起分享了关于烘焙的的忠告和建议。确实，在接下来的两周里，学生们将开始了他们培训的新篇章，那就是在五星级酒店里开始他们的实习生活
“What is the most important thing while baking?” Asked Chef Alex. “Hygiene!!!” the Young Bakers exclaimed. After following a hygiene training by one of our partners specialized in food safety, the Young Bakers had well understood the importance of a perfectly clean kitchen. Chef Alex took the time to explain about viruses, how to properly wash hands, and also the risks of contaminating the food, which could have major consequences on the guests’ health and thus on the bakers’ career.
当饼房厨师长薛琦问到‘在烘焙中最重要的一点是什么？’，学员们一致喊道‘卫生’。在接受由合作伙伴之一，一家专业食品安全公司提供的卫生训练后，学员们了解厨房卫生的重要性。薛琦花时间向学员们解释了病毒、如何正确洗手和食品污染的风险，这对客人们的健康和烘焙师的事业都有着重大的影响。
After hygiene, Chef Alex explained about another extremely important point: safety. Working in a kitchen, one comes across different equipment and tools, and risks must be avoided as much as possible. It is also important to know what to do in case of an accident, for instance after skin burn.
在结束卫生话题后，饼房厨师长薛琦又说到了另一个重要的话题，那就是安全。在厨房工作需要用到不同的设备和工具，同时，还要尽可能的避免发生事故的风险。如何在发生意外时做出妥当的处理也是十分重要的，例如皮肤烧伤。
At last, Chef Alex talked about the behavior and ways to communicate within a hotel, whether with colleagues, Chefs or guests. Talking more about the baking process and products, he also explained about the new trends and requests from the customers such as gluten-free breads for instance, which was very new to the students and thus has opened their mind even more.
在最后，饼房厨师长薛琦谈到了在酒店里行为举止和与同事、主厨还有客人的沟通方式。更多谈论到烘焙过程和产品时，他也提到了从顾客那得到的新趋势和要求，以五谷蛋白面包为例，对学员们来说这是新产品，因此他们更应该开放思想。
On behalf of the Young Bakers and SYB team I would like to warmly thanks Chef Alex for his long-term support to SYB program, to the students who have interned at the Pullman South and to the new students. Thanks to him, the Young Bakers are feeling more confident to start their internships!
我代表海上青焙坊的学员和团队，在此十分感谢饼房厨师长薛琦长期以来对海上青焙坊、在铂尔曼酒店实习过的学员们还有新学员们的支持。谢谢他让学员们更有信心开始他们的实习！
