Master classes on Far Eastern cuisine in Vladivostok schools

About the project

During the 2023-2024 academic year, an interesting and unique gastronomic project began to be implemented in Vladivostok schools. Gastronomy is not just about eating, sitting down and eating. It is also an opportunity to learn about traditions and culture, because Primorye is a multinational region.

Project shot! The chefs had the opportunity to communicate with a new audience unusual for them, share experiences, talk about the profession. Unlike regular visitors to restaurants, children are open to dialogue on various topics, and the more interesting communication is. During gastro lessons, schoolchildren change the situation, do something with their own hands not for the sake of evaluation, but for pleasure. Parents of schoolchildren note the manifestation of respect for products, interest in the work of catering and the desire to embody the knowledge gained at home: someone cooks independently at home, and someone is fond of serving. Teachers emphasize the well-established career-oriented orientation of such classes, changes in the behavior of children - everything is done together: from excellent students to tertiary students, from restless to indifferent.

It is very important that when conducting gastro lessons, the age of the children is also taken into account. Second graders prepare simpler meals, such as zavertons. High school students create khinkali with a Far Eastern scallop and rolls, try to sculpt dumplings with pollock.

During each lesson, the students open up from a new side. It turns out that learning to cook is cool, and girls do not necessarily do it (and the chefs who set the tone during these classes are young, fashionable, stylish guys who have already made a name for themselves in gastronomy)
