Question by Lilly Rose: I’m from Australia, and am thinking about becoming a chef, when i finish school in 2 years time?
this year i took, catering and food design and for the next 2 years i will be taking food technology.

my grandparents owned a bakery, and my grandfather was a baker there, my grandmothers a pretty good cook too.

my uncle (same side of the family still) is a gourmet chef and now runs his own catering business in another state.

im always being told whatever i cook is absolutly delicious, and i always enjoy cooking a meal (im even cooking xmas lunch this year), and cooking for me always seems to take the stress off.

i was wondering how to become a chef/cook/baker when i leave school..

plus im a vegetarian, so could that hold me back at all?? i have cooked meat in cooking plus i made my family fruity beef olives for dinner once and they said it was absolutly delicious and couldnt fault it..

so any chefs/cooks/bakers out, how did you get into the industry & any tip??

Being a vegetarian is going to hold you back for sure, if you do decide to go through with this I’m certain you will be putting out a lot of vegetable based dishes, which isn’t a bad thing but you’ll just be missing that certain spark to your menu, go to culinary school, either go to art institute international or a local culinary school in Australia, do not go to Le Cordon Bleu, you pay just for the name there.

Question by good2go80150: To be called a chef, I am wondering, I am going to be doing an online course for a gourmet cooking diploma and?
I will be starting my own restaurant and catering service and I am just curious as to whether or not I could be called a Chef or if I will need more expensive and formal training to get an associates or bachelors degree.

These days it don’t really take much to be called a Chef, how many times have you heard a proud Grandmother say ” my grandson is a Chef, he works at Denny’s.

A Certified Chef is a whole different thing, when Students graduate from Culinary School they come out with a Certificate as a Certified Culinarian, which simply means they have training though a accredited school that is recognized though the American Culinary Federation and in order to get the Certified Sous Chef or under Chef requires an Associates Degree or its equivalency in experience.

In my experience of 28 years in the food service field, the owner can be call whatever he wants, but if you know what you are talking about as far as food then you can call yourself Chef, you are in charge of the kitchen. you would be better served to take a Safe Food Handling Class and a class in Food Service Accounting in order to price your services properly. you can find these courses though the National Restaurant Association. http://www.restaurant.org/

Good Luck to you on your new venture
