Chef Colleges
So You're the Next Emeril You're tossing a chef salad, tri-tip sizzles on the grill, chilled lemon custards wait on the counter's edge, you reach over to a vinaigrette bowl you've just prepared and toss in a dash of salt. "BAM." You say it. Your heart races. This isn't just a meal you're making for friends tonight. It's practice for your career. It's an unstoppable enthusiasm for all things gourmet. Someday your cooking is going to pay your bills. You just know it.
Training Comes First If you're so passionate about food that you'd even wear that funny-looking chef's hat called a toque, then you're practically qualified for the role. There are just of few more things that you need before you become a chef: cooking mastery, kitchen experience, management ability in some cases, and oft-times, a little thing gotten only through chef colleges--a certificate or degree. Yes, many employers want this. Your certification will show them that you've had practice and instruction in such subjects as food prep and cooking techniques, nutrition, menus, food handling, waste reduction, pricing, pairing (knowing what ingredients and foods taste well together), and sanitation practices.
Kinds of Jobs Chef Colleges Help You Get After your coursework, you're going to want to be chef even more than ever. But once you get the job, then what? Possible promotions include head chef, transfer to or employment at more prestigious restaurants or stores, or even recipe design and testing for food manufacturers. |
