Instructions (in French)
Cuisinier du dimanche ou chef de métier ?

Les cuisiniers amateurs savent préparer certains plats, mais il leur manque souvent la technique et l’expertise des professionnels. Pour vraiment maîtriser la gastronomie, il faut une solide formation et beaucoup de pratique.
Document 2 :
Quelques autodidactes ont acquis une notoriété grâce aux réseaux sociaux et aux cours sur Internet. L’histoire d’une cuisinière amateure, aujourd’hui cheffe et autrice de livres de recettes, prouve qu’on peut réussir sans suivre la voie classique.The prompt opens in the editor, with a word counter and an accent keyboard.
