“In culinary terms, a ‘stage’ is a trial internship in a professional kitchen, often unpaid and highly selective. Chefs pursue stages in acclaimed, often Michelin-starred restaurants to demonstrate their dedication to learning, immerse themselves in high-level kitchen teams, and gain direct exposure to advanced techniques and recipes.
