Excellent book! Must have text for future Personal Chefs!.......2007-04-10
Anyone who is considering the profession of a Personal Chef should buy this book! An excellent source for the information you need to start a sucessful business!
Real world information at my fingertips.......2007-04-05
What a well written book! I wish this textbook had been available when I took the personal chef course at my local community college. It would have made a tremendous difference.
The book is perfectly organized, easy to read and understand. Kudos to Ms. Wallace and Mr. Forte. They did an excellent job!
Answered All My Questions.......2007-03-25
I wanted to start my own personal chef business, and I had a TON of questions about both the process of cooking in clients homes and also of the business and legal stuff. I was probably going to pay a professional to help me start my business, but now I am a lot more confident with start-up and I know this business confidence translates to self-confidence when I'm selling my service to potential clients. Worth every penny
Finally!!!!!!.......2007-03-12
This is an incredible alternative to those expensive trainings offered by the three top very reputable Personal Chef Associations. It in no way should replace that valuable training but it is truly a great start for the person who is just starting out in the industry and doesn't have the means to pay for the training right away!
Great Information!
The REAL DEAL on how to become a Professional Personal Chef! .......2007-03-08
This book speaks from experience! It resonates the actual voices of Personal Chefs and extols their expertise. Anyone remotely interested in becoming a Professional Personal Chef must adopt this book as their Personal Chef Bible. Yes, it is a text book; yes, it is packed with detailed information; yes it has review questions & exercises; and YES it is the REAL DEAL! Candy Wallace, as the Executive Director of the APPCA, has tirelessly promoted the Personal Chef Industry to bring it to the forefront of the Culinary World. And further, she has proven it is a viable field of choice for a very diverse group of cooks. From Executive Chefs to Homemakers to Mid-Life Career Changers, we all continue to benefit from her driving force of energy for true validation. Her collaboration with Greg Forte, an excellent hunter-gatherer of specifics, has produced the ultimate resource for our industry. I applaud them both for a stellar performance. Now, this resource can prepare the aspiring student for a satisfying career in the food industry that is as much about the service as the food. Read, digest and practice!

Cooking!.......2007-06-13
Well...I love to cook. So when I came upon a book called becoming a chef, I basically jumped at it. I thought that it was very well written. I think that it gave me more knowledge on becoming a chef and about the restaurant business.
Okay, but could be better.......2007-01-10
It was required reading for me for intro to culinary careers. Since culinary arts, and specifically pastry, is my passion and mid-life career change, much of the book didn't help. Also, like another, I found the first part really boring (especially after having just finished Making of a Chef by M. Ruhlman). It's good if you think culinary is something you may want to do or if you are looking at the different schools and options other than formal school.
keep reading no matter how boring it seems.......2005-09-30
When I began reading the book, I thought it was a complete waste of money- the begining was just aweful. BUT, after a while it gets so interesting that I did not want to put it down. I give it 4 and not 5 only becaUSE you cannot begin a book that is full of good stuff with the most boring stuff: disappoint people with the first chapter- its a waste of a great book since poeple will not want to keep reading it!!
Thinking about it........2005-07-19
This book is an excellent read. I love to cook and this book put into perspective what the restaurant industry is like. I highly recomend getting this book if you are intrested in becoming a chef.
Thinking of being a chef? Read this book first........2005-05-06
AS a professional of 10 years now(currently working with Wolfgang Puck), this book should be a must read before you commit to being a chef.
It gives a realistic look into what working in the high end kitchens in the World is REALLY like.(The long hours, heat, working sick, tempers,low pay, etc.) What you see on cooking shows is staged and is not a indication of the day to day grind that a kitchen hits you with. Most people have NO IDEA what they are getting themselves into!
I suggest to anyone who is considering taking on the challenge of earning the title "Professional Chef"-REad this book, get a job in kitchen before you spend money on cooking school to see if you like it, and ask yourself-do you love food, or do you just think it would be a glory filled way to fame?

A must!.......2000-06-05
When I first started out, I did not know how much to serve and how to break down my expenses. After reading this book, that information was no longer a mystery. It is precisely what the beginner needs and what the experienced can use for reference. Not only does it contain information on what to charge and spend, it sets up scenarios that illustrate what the author is referring to. There are recipes that are fresh and practical and interesting.

Norman Van Aken began his career as a busboy in a Holiday Inn, Alice Waters was a Montessori teacher before she opened Chez Panisse, Emeril Lagasse began as a dishwasher in a bakery, and Charlie Trotter started in a restaurant called The Ground Round. It is a long way to the top of the culinary charts, and in Becoming a Chef the first thing you learn is that the hours are long and the dues are high.
Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page have created a classic. The flip side of Larousse Gastronomique, this book should be required reading for anybody who has ever considered a career as a professional chef. For those of us who are content with our day jobs, Becoming a Chef is a complete and informative look at how the best in the business got where they are today. Dornenburg and Page interviewed 60 of America's finest chefs to find out what drives them. What are their influences? How did they begin? What do they read? And what advice do they have for someone just starting out? Most of all, the book offers a candid perspective on what it takes to succeed in the top ranks of the business. From a professional standpoint, Becoming a Chef is invaluable; from an amateur's standpoint, it is simply fascinating.
Along with some sound advice and great stories, America's best chefs offer some of their favorite recipes. Andre Soltner reveals his mother's recipe for Potato Pie, and Michel Richard shares a Creme Brulée that was inspired by his first kiss. These are subtle reminders that it takes passion as well as commitment to become a chef. --Mark O. Howerton
Book Description
"A 'must' for aspiring chefs." âJulia Child
Essential reading for anyone who loves food, Becoming a Chef is an entertaining and informative insider's guide to the chefs profession, providing the first behind-the-scenes look into some of the most celebrated restaurant kitchens across the nation. More than 60 of America's leading chefs discuss the inspiration, effort, and quirks of fate that turned would-be painters, anthropologists, and pro football players into culinary artists.
Customer Reviews:
Very good for upcoming culinary students.......2003-10-26
I liked this book and found it to give me the inspiration for becoming a chef. When you really love what you do in work, other parts of your life are usually less stressful. I also highly recommend:
Study Guide for Baking: Key Review Questions and Answers by Melissa Heilman. This book was excellent for helping get excellent grades in my culinary baking classes
An invaluable source of information and inspiration!.......2003-05-25
Becoming a Chef by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page is filled with information that anyone who wants to achieve greatness as a professional chef needs to know, based on the experiences of dozens of America's leading chefs (from Daniel Boulud to Emeril Lagasse to Charlie Trotters to Alice Waters). You find out what first got them interested in pursuing a career as a chef (including early memories of family influences) to what their first steps were (from first jobs to cooking school to externships) and how they made their way up the ladder to success. My favorite chapter is Chapter 9: Persevering In The Face of Reality, in which top chefs admit some of the boneheaded mistakes they made along the way, making it clear that even the greatest chefs faced setbacks along the way. Whenever I question my sanity for wanting to cook for a living (which is at least once a week), I pick up this book, open it to any page, and get inspired by remembering that we're all in it for the love of food and our common passion for cooking things that taste amazing and please others!
Fascinating and invaluable!.......2003-05-09
"Finally, a book that lets chefs speak for themselves! An insightful look at the complex life of a professional chef. Fascinating portraits of the people who have defined American cuisine -- who they are, and how they got to be where they are today. Anyone who is interested in becoming a chef will find this book invaluable: This is what it takes to make it."
--MARK MILLER, chef-owner, Coyote Cafe (Santa Fe, NM)
You have to dig for the good stuff.......2003-04-21
Dornenburg and Page assembled some really interesting insights and experiences from many US chefs and sprinkled the book with some of their recipes. First the good stuff...
When the chefs tell their stories, you get some interesting and entertaining insight into the restaurant world both here and abroad. The discussion of the apprenticeship process in Europe is facinating, as are the stories about how various chef's started.
Now the not so good stuff...
The recipes are not well edited at all. In some cases little information about ingredient quantities is provided, and the procedure descriptions are hit-or-miss at best. Don't risk a big dinner party on these recipes unless you've tried them out first.
Also, the authors include several pointless tables addressing things like who once worked for whom.
A classic in the field that is recommended at top schools........2003-03-29
From the National Culinary Review's HISTORY OF CULINARY EDUCATION IN AMERICA: "Upon its publication in 1995, BECOMING A CHEF offered the first compendium of answers to some of the most common questions an aspiring chef can ask."
From The Culinary Institute of America: "In preparation for your studies and career, we offer you this helpful list of recommended readings. You may find this extra preparation to be an opportunity to gain a sense of what is occurring in the industry that you are joining. This reading list has been selected by the faculty and administration at the CIA and supplements the required reading for your individual course work. Good luck and happy reading!

Customer Reviews:
Great purchase.......2007-02-24
This is a very comprehensive book. I enjoy it and find it very helpful.
For Beginners Only.......2003-09-27
This is a very basic, thinly-written guide for restaurant workers. A good part of the book seems to be spent identifying who does what in a restaurant; definitely not for anyone who has ever worked in an upscale restaurant. There are also plenty of cute illustrations to help drive the authors' points home to the reader; they were somewhat unnecessary and actually gave me the feeling of being something of a fluff tactic and an effort to fill up space. The book would certainly benefit those who had never worked in a restaurant or had only served/hosted/bartended/bussed in a more casual place. Do not buy this book if you have ever owned a crumber!
