I'll be attending culinary school in the fall and just got a break from a chef at a
wonderful catering company and even though I don't have a formal education/experience,
I'm going to give this my best shot. I have a realistic understanding of the long
hours and hard work involved and look forward to the satisfaction gained from "pulling
it off" in the end. If anyone could offer suggestions on what I should know, questions I
should ask, books I can read, sanitation/food handling guidelines I should know about--
anything about this particular industry I'd really appreciate it.
I'm new to this and am willing to work my butt off for practically nothing just to get the
experience (am I totally nuts?!). I want to learn as much as possible so any pointers would be appreciated!
Respectfully,
Lisa N.
