You can turn the event into a Foods From Around the World Night, and serve delicacies from other countries. Guest speakers such as immigrants who can describe a typical meal, shopping for food or food production in their native country can provide interesting information. Careers to Consider If you'd love to spend your days in the kitchen, you might consider becoming a chef or a cook. Chefs and cooks prepare meals that are tasty and look good for restaurants, schools, and other places. They have a big influence on whether or not a restaurant succeeds or fails.
Chefs are usually better-trained than cooks.
Chefs may complete vocational or four-year college programs, or attend culinary institutes where they specialize in preparing a type of food, such as pastries or meat dishes. Cooks may receive their training on the job or complete a vocational degree. The American Culinary Federation accredits chefs and cooks at the levels of cook, working chef, executive chef, and master chef. Bread and pastry bakers produce baked goods for restaurants, retail bakery shops, and other outlets. Bakers make breads, pies, pastries, wedding cakes, and other goods, mostly by hand.
