 Not worth the money. January 7, 2009
This was required reading for a course I took and I found it to be the biggest waste of time and money thus far of all the books I have had to purchase for school. It has a few nice stories about some well known chefs, but it doesn't have a lot of useful information in my opinion.
 Wow!! One of my favorite books! November 30, 2008

I am going to culinary school in a few months and that's what sparked my interest in buying this book, and I am sure glad I did! I have read it through several times, this book gives so much helpful advice to the young people who want to be in the culinary field. I really like that they have insight from so many different well-known chefs throughout the entire book.
A Vocational Inspiration February 25, 2008
This book takes you in-depth into the life and passion of a chef using well-known chefs as examples. It's a breath of fresh air with insights to inspire and aspire. You'll love this book whether you are just curious or you're already in the business. You'll find out how common the lives of well-known chefs are from their struggles to their road to success.

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.
