REVIEWS

I was very interested to read the “Business of Being a Chef” and was not disappointed.

So many very talented chefs fail because they do not understand or lack experience in managing the key fundamentals of the business. This book makes the complicated understandable and provides a roadmap/resource for chefs to refer to as they grow their career.

I have been in the business for 5 decades and author hit the nail squarely on the head!

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.
