Food Jobs: 150 Great Jobs for Culinary Students, Career Changers and Food Lovers Review
Have you ever dreamed of working in the food industry but weren't sure what kind of job you would like? Do you love food but without a culinary degree you thought you could never follow your passion? With captivating humor and insight, Irena Chalmers has written a guide to help career changers, culinary students, and food lovers explore the many facets of the culinary world.
It takes great skill to describe positions so that people think, "Hey, I could do that." Irena recently wrote, "If you can do crossword puzzles and read a map, you have the kind of brain that would enable you to be a cookbook indexer or a fact checker." I immediately sat up and thought I may have the skills to break into the business after all!
I look at Irena's delightful listing of unusual food jobs as proof that there is truly something for everyone. No matter how esoteric your passions, there is someone out there that needs your expertise. From those who want to cook on the line, to product demonstrators, anthropologists, and cookbook doctors, there is something for everyone.
Start reading this book and your synapses will immediately begin firing. One option after the other, comments from some of the best minds in the business, references to books you should read, organizations you can join, and blogs to follow - the opportunities are endless and the only limitation is your own imagination. Buy "Food Jobs" and start on your path to becoming a happier and healthier person.

Maybe you're considering culinary school, maybe you're about to graduate, or maybe you're looking for an exciting career change.

(yacht chef, tea taster, fortune cookie message writer). Chalmers provides essential information for getting started and succeeding in your chosen culinary role including job descriptions, candid musings on what the job really entails and who it's really for, and testimonials from the best in the field (Bobby Flay, Todd English, Gordon Hamersly, Francois Payard, Danny Meyer, Anthony Bourdain and more).
