Saw a blurb about this new book on epicurious.com and thought it might be of interest to some of you:
New Culinary Book: Food Jobs: 150 Great Jobs for Culinary Students, Career Changers and Food Lovers by Irena Chalmers, highly respected food industry guru, is a must read for those interested in entering the nation's largest private-sector employer (second only to the federal government). Having been author, reporter and publisher as well as a faculty member at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., Chalmers knows her way around the food business. Her book distills a lifetime of experience and plenty of research into a food industry career guide that's usable as well as a pleasure to read.
Chalmers' book begins with some general advice on defining career goals, then goes on to describe some 150 different possible careers involving food and the restaurant world.
