Chef Jobs And Training

I know if I wanted too work in a resort or something I would have to go to school for it….
but I just want to open my own bakery in cali
and hire someone that has gone to school for it
but also do some of the work myself
is there anyway I can find a pastry chef train under
I mean not to get paid for working for them
just do it to pick up some skills
My fiancee told me to do whatever I wanted
and his father said he would pay for my schooling
but I dont want to do that
what do you think?

I am a former chef myself, and training with a good pastry chef is essential, and school is to, I would train with the pastry chef now, and in a few years go to school, here in Canada we use the same type of system as the Europeans, it is called and apprenticeship, were you work, go to school, work and go to school again, fill the rest of the required time for your period of qualification, then write an exam and get a certificate for the trade.

Now in the US it is different, so work a few years get the training, and then let your fiancees father pay for your schooling the pre school training will give you an advantage over the others.

Currently I have no culinary experience, I just love cooking.

a cooking school of some sort would be ideal… but if you could get picked up as an apprentice or sous chef at any nice restaurant, that would help more than culinary school, but it depends on who you know to be able to get that type of opportunity.

You can do main things…
Manage a restaurant
bar tendd
food sales rep.GSFs,sysco,quirch,etc.)
own a restaurant
be a cheffcateringng

the only thing is that with only training you will fill lost in this industry you will need alot of hands on experience

Preferably something with a job to go along with it but I am open for any program that has a good reputation

Look into cruise lines.
It’s long days and hard work but the pay is good.

Im interested in joining the CG as a Chef

I will have my Associates in May.

Associates or not, Chef or sailor, you have to go through Basic Training. I suggest you start getting in shape now. Drop and give me 20…. Push em out!….

my internet search has turned up the natural gourmet school, NY and bauman college, are there any similar programs anywhere in Europe? also interested in whole foods/ mediterranean cuisine

The best education is in a natural foods restaurant.
They can be hard to find, but once you locate them hound them until they hire you.
Schools will make you handle everything.

Easiest? Does that imply you are lazy, desire only minimal training, or need a job right away? Try McDonald’s or other fast food.

If you really want to be a good chef then you should get the best training you can afford.

here are alternate scenes / outtakes from the Training video.

I usually ask this every couple days.. to have people go over my plans for dinner and tell me if it sounds like im doing it right. I am newly out of college (ok.. two years ago haha) and trying to FINALLY learn how to cook so i can be a good mommy and wife one day LoL So… hows this sound? any suggestions? Anyone have a good dessert?

1) Apricot Pork Roast. I bought a packaged pork roast.. i am going to brush it with a mix of apricot preserves… and a little brown sugar lemon and either curry or ginger… and then cook it for the time the package says. I will probably serve it with a sauce reduction of those same ingredients.

2) Little potatoes with rosemary. I will buy those itty bitty little potatoes… and throw them in a baking dish with olive oil/salt/pepper and rosemary and allow them to cook until done.

3) A sautted mix of squash, zuccini, and onion- cuz i gotta get my veggies in there.

Hows it sound? Thanks in advance!

Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees for 15 seconds. (food safety). So take it out at 140 the carry over heat will bring it to 145. Do you really need curry or ginger? Simple flavor are better flavors.

Fresh Rosemary is better with the oil they will not burn I always cook with fresh herbs when ever possible.

Saute the onions first to a light brown, then add the rest of the veg. The caramelized onion will really make the vegetables taste really good. Do not forget to salt at the end so the water is not taken out of the vegetables and the are crisp.
