Where was this book when I was thinking about being a chef?

My new book, 50 Things To Know About Being a Chef  is live.  Kindle, paperback, and hardback options.

Being a chef as shown on TV is only partly right. The sweat and heat and burn and cuts they get right.  What’s missing is the paperwork, the ordering, the inventory, the dishwashing.  If there’s a job to be done in the kitchen, at some point the chef is going to have to do it.

Do a chef need to join an association?  Is certification necessary?  How does the chef impact customer service?  When I went to culinary school, and even when I taught it, the main focus was on the food.  How to cook it.  There is more to being a chef and a good part of it has nothing to do with cooking.

I probably would not have changed my mind if I had known what I’ve learned over the years.  I would have had a better sense of how to prepare for what I chose, though.
