 
Love What You Do: Building a Career in the Culinary Industry is a must-read if you’re considering a career in the culinary industry, whether you're just starting out in the work force or making a career change. Interspersed with job profiles, exercises, and quotes from prominent chefs, the book will help you decide if the culinary world is right for you and guide you through a process of career development--exploring, training for, and launching your new career.
Love What You Do begins with a chapter on uncovering your passions, strengths, and weaknesses through a process of self-inventory. Next, the book outlines the training needed  to jump-start a successful culinary career, including the options of culinary school and on-the-job training. You’ll find out what you should look for in a culinary education program and the different types of positions, both paid and unpaid, you can expect to get while you train. The final chapter on launching your career will help you identify which positions are the best fit for you—in and outside of the kitchen—and how to put your best foot forward in the job hunt.
As founder and CEO of the world-renowned French Culinary Institute and author of Love What You Do, Dorothy Cann Hamilton is an award-winning authority on building a career in the culinary world. Anyone thinking of pursuing this exciting industry will benefit from this helpful how-to guide.
