As a professional chef for the past ten years I find this book interesting and informative. There are many good stories from other chefs in the industry and will be helpful for young culinary students.

Well...I love to cook. So when I came upon a book called becoming a chef, I basically jumped at it. I thought that it was very well written. I think that it gave me more knowledge on becoming a chef and about the restaurant business.
Okay, but could be better January 10, 2007

It was required reading for me for intro to culinary careers. Since culinary arts, and specifically pastry, is my passion and mid-life career change, much of the book didn't help. Also, like another, I found the first part really boring (especially after having just finished Making of a Chef by M. Ruhlman). It's good if you think culinary is something you may want to do or if you are looking at the different schools and options other than formal school.
keep reading no matter how boring it seems September 30, 2005

When I began reading the book, I thought it was a complete waste of money- the begining was just aweful. BUT, after a while it gets so interesting that I did not want to put it down. I give it 4 and not 5 only becaUSE you cannot begin a book that is full of good stuff with the most boring stuff: disappoint people with the first chapter- its a waste of a great book since poeple will not want to keep reading it!!
