Over 240 chef trainees from four different cities across China will participate in the upcoming EU Pork masterclasses in cooperation with New East Cuisine cooking school.

New East Cuisine cooking school was established in 1988 in Hefei, Anhui province. It now has over 40 branches of cooking schools across China, including main cities such as in Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Dalian, Haikou and etc. They have more than 2000 experienced chefs working in different programs, creating a solid teaching team, as well as thousands of students yearly across China and professional facilities on each campus to provide the best training available to the future chefs of China.

The masterclasses will take place in Chengdu, Dalian, Hefei and Guangzhou, and will be divided into a common theory class, and small group practical classes. Per city, the distribution would be as follows:

• 1:15 hours theory masterclass on the history, key merits and uses of EU pork.
