Jobs explored involve cooking, selling, managing, writing, and teaching. Occupational titles, arranged alphabetically within 11 thematic sections, vary from food historian, catering manager, sports nutritionist, and winemaker to fast-food cook and waiter. Along the lines of the Occupational Outlook Handbook, published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, each two-page entry is accompanied by a "career profile" and a "career ladder" containing up-to-date, ready reference data with units on position description, employment trends, advancement, prospects, salary ranges, necessary education and experience, best geographical location, and tips for entry. Useful appendixes include extensive listings of culinary academies, vocational trade-tech schools, and community colleges and universities offering culinary programs; workshops, seminars, and symposia; professional and trade associations and culinary organizations; and food publications. A welcome addition to career collections.
