Survey – Learning in cooking, between passion and mistreatment
In Switzerland, the next generation is becoming increasingly rare in kitchens. The difficult working conditions, which sometimes go up to mistreatment, are a brake to attract young people to this profession, reveals an RTS survey. But the lack of candidates does not only concern the kitchens, the hotel and restoration is also affected.
Far from television broadcasting as a top chef, rigorous learning in the kitchen struggles to seduce the next generation. In 2010, nearly 2,200 apprentices began initial training in the kitchen. In 2024, there were almost 1500, a decrease of almost 35%, despite a revival in the past two years in several cantons.
