How many people dream of a job in the food world? The United States alone will generate $7.2 trillion dollars in the culinary and hospitality industry over the next five years; 80 million households can tune in to watch the Food Network and shows like Top Chef which draw audiences of all ages. FOOD JOBS: 150 Great Jobs for Culinary Students, Career Changers and FOOD Lovers by Irena Chalmers is the perfect resource. Chalmers, a highly respected food industry guru, has words of wisdom for anyone who has ever considered turning a passion for food into a career. FOOD JOBS is packed with profiles of fabulous (and funny) food jobs, from the conventional (chef, caterer, bed and breakfast owner to wedding cake designer, specialty food retailer, and food photographer), to the can-I-really-get-paid-for-that? (yacht chef, chewing gum taster, fortune cookie message writer). FOOD JOBS is full of stories from food leaders and legends, "matters of fact", recommended books, websites, information and advice to put the reader ahead of the competition.
