Then if by your own country you mean the west, don't learn how to cook in China. The food that 'western' Chinese restaurants serve (even the 'authentic' ones, is a million miles away from what you get over here.

 

Even my wife, (who is Chinese) says of 'western' Chinese restaurants that it "all tastes the same" The problem is if you wanted to be genuinely authentic you would go bust as the cost of Chinese fruits and vegetables in the 'west' are prohibitive.

I also looked for learning chinese cuisine, but until I find someone to teach me - I learn myself.

I know it might be "not traditional", but some of my friends (Chinese) who tasted it, said that I cook better then them  

But, what is different, I'm not looking for a school, but "tutor" Smile

Btw? anybody wants to learn some Polish dishes? Wink

Visit the Book Center or some other book stores to find some recipes in Chinese or cuisine books. Of course, your understanding of Chinese may help you further. Besides, there are some live TV programs or online cuisine ones, free of charge totally to train you to be a skilled book. Search them and have a good luck.

Hi Rain;

I was looking into that too when I first came to China. 

There is a place in Wuyang Cun called "Say Cheese" they have a fully stocked kitchen and they will teach you how to cook. But in the end, I decided to have someone teach me at my place because I can learn to prepare and she taught me how to use my kitchen and taught me about prep work.

A:https://chinabyteaching.com/teaching-english-in-china/am-i-eligible-to-teach-in-china/ 6. Age requirements There is no single nationwide age rule applied consistently across all of China. In reality, most Z Visa approvals tend to cap somewhere around the mid-50s, but how strictly this is applied varies by province and employer. Age is often more of a hiring preference than a legal rule. Kindergartens, for example, may prefer younger teachers, while international schools often view age as experience and are more flexible. Ironically, even ‘young’ and ‘older’ are subjective – some Chinese employers might deem 40 to be ‘too old’ to teach kindergartners! If you are at all concerned about age, it is best to raise this early with recruiters to avoid wasting time with the wrong job applications. At the end of the day, you should strive to find a school that appreciates your experience. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china Requirements to teach in ChinaTeaching English jobs are competitive in China, and to teach legally in China, you'll have to meet a few qualifications:English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL).Bachelor’s degreeCriminal background checkTeaching certificate: TEFL, CELTA, or teaching license from your home country.Authenticated documents: Bachelor's degrees, criminal background checks, and teaching certificates will need to be legalized and authenticated. This helps international employers recognize their authenticity. Be under the Chinese retirement age of 55 (women) or 60 (men) years old The qualifications for teaching abroad in China are strict, and teaching in China on a tourist or business visa is illegal and can lead to fines or deportation.   -- icnif77
