With a wealth of global experience, Mark has perfectly capture all the essentials of being a successful caterer – beyond cooking great food in an easy – to – read manual that is sure to become a staple for future generations of chefs.
I have had a career of 42 years in kitchens, and I must say the detail in this book “The Business of Being a Chef” is second to none.
The information provided is vital to anyone going into this profession. It covers all aspects, including use of ingredients, flavours, colours, and planning in addition to the business aspects. I would really have benefited from a book like this at the start of my career.
A must for anyone going into the food industry.
