Dean Wang Wei took the development trend of food in Europe and America represented by Germany as an example. He said that European and American food is the fusion of traditional cooking and its culture with modern food industry, especially more and more dishes are replaced by industrialized preconditioned products. The rapid development of fast food industry in Europe and America is actually the industrialization of cooking, that is, the organic combination of traditional production and modern food industry. Sichuan cuisine may also try to integrate with the modern food industry.
Tang shanhu, vice president of food college of southwest university for nationalities

Tang Shanhu, the vice president, spoke boldly about his feelings about Sichuan cuisine. He mentioned that the positioning of Sichuan cuisine is not clear, and there are many famous dishes in Sichuan cuisine, but the characteristics are not clear. Besides, compared with western food and Cantonese food, Sichuan food looks worse. Moreover, it is difficult to maintain the flavor of Sichuan cuisine, and the taste of each family is different, and there is no unified standard. Therefore, he believes that Sichuan cuisine needs the association and the government to take the lead, and Sichuan experts should work together to define, position and standardize its flavor.

At the same time, he hopes that the promotion of Sichuan cuisine will get more support from the association and the government.

Dean Wu Huachang believes that craft is not equal to craft, experience is not equal to science, tools are not equal to equipment, mystery is not equal to myth, and large-scale is not equal to modernization.
