Must Reading If You Are Thinking of Going to Culinary School

If you ever thought about going to culinary school or enroll in a hotel management program, I highly recommend you read as much as you possible can about becoming a chef, what to expect in culinary school, what it's like working in a restaurant and what ever else you can find about the profession.

Here is a sampling of some of the best books you will find about these subjects. Culinary and restaurant management school is not cheap so I urge you to read one or all of these books before you sign up so you know what you will be dealing with. The culinary world is rewarding but don't go in blind. Read as much as you can!

Click on a book or the link and you will be taken to Amazon.com where you can learn more about the book, read reviews and order if you so choose. And don't forget to check out our listings of culinary schools in your state.

What Do You Need To Know to Get Into Culinary School

making of chef As the Reluctant Gourmet, I have never been to cooking school, but I keep telling myself it's never too late. The best way for you to learn more about becoming a chef is to visit my collection of culinary career articles that look at a variety of subjects a new culinary student or hospitality management student would be interested in knowing. Here you will find articles, books, school resources and many other useful resources.

Also, try reading as much as you can about going to cooking school and what it is like to be a professional chef. One book I highly recommend to anyone thinking about culinary school is, The Making of A Chef, by Michael Ruhlman. It will really help you understand what you may be getting yourself into.
