As a professional chef, you will have the expertise, knowhow and passion to make memorable meals every time. A professional chef makes his career cooking and studying food. It goes without saying that the most chefs have a passion for food that goes well beyond that of the average person. They often see food in a unique way. They love the textures, tastes, sights and smells of the food they make. They are creative, striving for the next big dish. Nevertheless, it does take a lot of education to make this a reality.

The question most people have to answer first is if they have the drive to be this good. Getting an education is the first step. You will likely need to attend a two year or four year educational program. The program often entails full time schooling which will centre on everything from food history to plating to pastry and beyond. In some cases, you can specialize in certain areas. This is specifically true for those who will be becoming a pastry chef rather than a standard chef. Schooling is often the most labour-intensive part of the process to becoming a professional, but it is by no means the only option.

From here, you most likely will enter into a culinary internship with some of the top restaurants around the country. Be warned. Te restaurants that you work at are often selected based on affiliations the school has with them. As you are considering which culinary school to attend, find out which affiliations the school has prior to enrolling. Of course, the more elite the school is, the better the restaurant and hotel relationships will be.

But, school is not the only thing that needs to be taken into consideration when making a decisions whether or not to be a professional chef. You also have to take into consideration your ability to love your work. Ask yourself questions about what the job is like and how it will affect your daily life. Chefs work long hours, often stretching into the late evenings and most weekends. Chefs also start at the bottom and work their way up the ladder, no matter what school they have been in. This means dishes and prep work, followed by various other positions within the kitchen.

If you can do these things, chances are good you can be a professional chef. Having a passion can make everything else easier to manage.
