Maybe you’re considering culinary school, maybe you’re about to graduate, or maybe you’re looking for an exciting career change. How can you translate your zest for flavor into a satisfying profession? Should you become a chef or open a specialty foods shop, write cookbooks or try your hand at food styling? Culinary careers are as varied as they are fascinating-the only challenge is deciding which one is right for you. Filled with advice from food-world pros, including luminaries, such as Alice Waters, Chris Kimball, Betty Fussell and Darra Goldstein, Food Jobs will set you behind the stove of your dream career.

In this tasty, nourishing book, food industry veteran Irena Chalmers offers profiles of food jobs by the dozen-everything from the traditional (maitre d’, caterer, dietician) to the behind-the-scenes (restaurant consultant, kitchen designer, hotel promoter) to the holy-cow-I-can-get-paid-for-that? (yacht chef, tea taster, fortune cookie message writer). Chalmers provides essential information for getting started and succeeding in your chosen culinary role including job descriptions, candid musings on what the job really entails and who it’s really for, and testimonials from the best in the field (Bobby Flay, Todd English, Gordon Hamersly, Francois Payard, Danny Meyer, Anthony Bourdain and more). Bursting with real-life wisdom from those who’ve been there, Food Jobs will expose you to the myriad of different food jobs available and guide you to the one that’s right for you.

“Luckily, when the going gets tough, the tough get creative…The brilliant Irena Chalmers, who has had at least 19 lives in food, has compiled this very smart book, with a dazzling array of opportunities laid out for anyone looking for ways to make some money off the second most essential human activity after breathing. You might not want to be the chef who grills the steaks on Death Row in Texas, but she has scores of other suggestions, with case studies.” – Regina Schrambling, Epicurious

“So you’re thinking of a spot in the food world but don’t know where to start? Irena Chalmers’s new book, Food Jobs, may help you focus your energy. Chalmers, a culinary businesswoman and author, offers sketches of 150 different food-related jobs, divided among nine categories –everything from busboy to flavor maker to seed scientist to fortune-cookie writer. The book and the website and blog that go with it (foodjobsbook.com) are engaging reads.” – Boston Sunday Globe
