I bought your book years ago when I started culinary school! Though I am in Canada, there was lots of translatable info! Thx! --Ilona Daniel
Hi Chris, just wanted to say thanks for helping me to get my first commis chef job. After buying your book 'How To Become A Chef' and following your advice I got a job in an Italian restaurant. I'm 52 and had no prior experience in a commercial kitchen (although a keen home cook). I'll definitely be buying your other books! Regards, Paul. --Paul McLelland
