What a well written book! I wish this textbook had been available when I took the personal chef course at my local community college. It would have made a tremendous difference.
The book is perfectly organized, easy to read and understand. Kudos to Ms. Wallace and Mr. Forte. They did an excellent job!
Answered All My Questions March 25, 2007

I wanted to start my own personal chef business, and I had a TON of questions about both the process of cooking in clients homes and also of the business and legal stuff. I was probably going to pay a professional to help me start my business, but now I am a lot more confident with start-up and I know this business confidence translates to self-confidence when I'm selling my service to potential clients. Worth every penny

This is an incredible alternative to those expensive trainings offered by the three top very reputable Personal Chef Associations. It in no way should replace that valuable training but it is truly a great start for the person who is just starting out in the industry and doesn't have the means to pay for the training right away!
Great Information!
The REAL DEAL on how to become a Professional Personal Chef! March 7, 2007
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book speaks from experience! It resonates the actual voices of Personal Chefs and extols their expertise. Anyone remotely interested in becoming a Professional Personal Chef must adopt this book as their Personal Chef Bible. Yes, it is a text book; yes, it is packed with detailed information; yes it has review questions & exercises; and YES it is the REAL DEAL! Candy Wallace, as the Executive Director of the APPCA, has tirelessly promoted the Personal Chef Industry to bring it to the forefront of the Culinary World. And further, she has proven it is a viable field of choice for a very diverse group of cooks. From Executive Chefs to Homemakers to Mid-Life Career Changers, we all continue to benefit from her driving force of energy for true validation. Her collaboration with Greg Forte, an excellent hunter-gatherer of specifics, has produced the ultimate resource for our industry. I applaud them both for a stellar performance. Now, this resource can prepare the aspiring student for a satisfying career in the food industry that is as much about the service as the food. Read, digest and practice!
