Dear Heather,
Pardon my delay in replying to your question.
Cooking for a living in many ways is a passion and not an easy thing to put down even after bad experiences.
On the good side unlike other professions there are always job openings even in a tough economy.
I suggest you try to find a family run pub that serv more…

we are watching PBS Nature on the subject. Very very disturbing....boy are we ever messing withthe planet. But what can we do? Every time we turn, we are in peril. Its depressing, paralizing and terrifying. we MUST change our ways on this planet or else that is it-never mind your worries....cause life is over. more…

I went to catering college and spent two years there. I left with NVQ2&3 in catering. During my time a college I was bullied and it affected my confidences. I have had a few work experiences while I was at college, but since leaving college in 2004. I have not work in cateting. Partly the stress and family illnes more…

yeah i totally agree... Theres so much more to plan its not just a case of moving a few tables around and adding extra staff its also about profitable moves aswell as not leaving people feeling ripped off on such a romantic day.
One thing worse than leaving the ring in the puddings must be dropping it in a glass of champagne then dr more…

I just want to thank you for this site, I've been desperately searching for just general information about pursuing the culinary arts as a career, and you would not believe how near impossible it is to find answers to such simple questions as "What's the average work schedule like?"
So thank you very much! more…

Once upon a time...I had my own restaurant. And yes,it makes money but also deprives you of family.
I chose the family and sold the restaurant.
We had a chef, but on her days out,I was the chef.
It was fun and today I am a great cook.
But I liked the part of being the manager better then the cook.

I cannot agree with you more, Reypenaer, Reypenaer VSOP and Reypenaer XO are indeed Glorious Dutch Cheeses - I say this with some pride as I am Dutch. There are other great Dutch cheeses, and in general your supermarket is not the place to find gourmet cheese, you have to go to a specialty store or check online.
For anybody out there who liv more…
