If you're interested in pursuing a career in the culinary arts, there's no limit to the new experiences and opportunities that may come up if you're ambitious and adventurous enough. This week, the Quincy (Mass.) Patriot-Ledger spoke with celebrity chef Sarah Moulton about her career. Moulton is the food editor for Good Morning America and she also recently released a cookbook for families. According to the report, Moulton got her start in 1977 when she graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. She worked in restaurants and for famed former chef Julia Child, but eventually moved on to product testing before becoming a cooking school instructor. She also spent time working in the test kitchen for Gourmet magazine and eventually became the chef of its dining room. One thing prospective culinary professionals can learn from Moulton's career is that there are far more different opportunities for them to pursue than working in or owning a restaurant. Some people take their culinary skills to work in overseas hotels or cruise ships, while others pursue careers at the nation's most successful high-end dining establishments. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for chefs and cooks is expected to increase 11 percent in the coming years.  |
