Culinary Career

Many people are surprised by the broad range of employment opportunities obtainable on completion of a Culinary Degree. When you graduate from Culinary School, you might select to work in a restaurant, at a resort, or in catering. The job choice you make can set the direction for your career. Working in a restaurant is very different than working in the catering business for example. There's different skills necessary for these jobs, and working in one field does not give you qualifications for the other. Keep this in mind before deciding which Culinary Career you intend to pursue. After you graduate, you have the chance to review the skills you have and choose from there what food service venue you need to focus your career on. In the coursework of the first several years of your culinary you will spend plenty of time practicing your skills and then finding your niche.
One of the basic skills you will utilize throughout your Culinary Career is your technical skill. This set of skills includes cooking methods, knife skills, and line cooking. Another skill is that is learned is culinary. Budding cooks train to make food taste nice. Cooks will learn seasoning, flavor combinations and plate presentations to
The most basic skill, the one that schools are designed to teach, is the technical. These skills are the basis of every chef's talent - knife skills, cooking methods, timing, mise en place, and (the final technical skill) making cooking on the line graceful, even in the coursework of the rush. The other skill taught in school is culinary. Most cooks have a nice palate to start, but training for the nuances of flavor and seasoning, new flavor combinations, creative plates and presentations, delving deep in to a cultures cuisine all take training and practice.
The other two skill sets are what distinguish a cook from a Chef. A Chef is concerned with over his/her own piece of the kitchen - they have the whole kitchen as a responsibility. With this in mind, organization is key. The chef has to stay organized, run the kitchen smoothly and effectively, and conduct business.
Hand in hand with directorial skills are managerial skills. A chef understands how to work with people and get them to work for him/her. These skills are the highest level because they involve sharing knowledge and skill with those working for you. The most often-seen method is training, but ultimately being a mentor to a cook and to create their career is the highest skill a chef can accomplish

  3. Chefs can work up the ladder by gaining more experience. They can start as prep cooks and become short-order cooks, line chefs, sous chefs, executive chefs and corporate chefs. Some can become culinary teachers while others may choose to work as private
