Becoming a TV Chef:

if you would rather be the celebrity instead of cook for them, you can find a very fulfilling and successful career as a TV chef and cook for various food programs in TV and present your own cooking show. There are various options for chefs' TV shows that you can apply for and you will not only be famous, but you will cook gourmet food, teach people to cook at home and enjoy a very stress free life. Your fame will also be great if you want to expand your cooking career to having your own chef cutlery, chef cookware, chef uniforms and other products made. You can also bring out recipe books and create world famous recipes.

It is not easy to become a TV chef and to cook on TV will require not only a skill for cooking with flair, but will also require you to be good in front of the camera and work well on a TV set. You might need to shoot scenes over and over again and you must be able to recreate the recipe a few times until you get the shots right. TV cuisine must always look great as it will be on TV, so you have to have very good plating techniques and interesting hints and tips for the viewers. This will mean that you must have years of experience in the chef business so that you can share insightful tips with people.

Generally, the chefs TV shows or food programs on TV are created for a gourmet chef or master chef that own their own restaurant or at least has worked at a top restaurant or hotel for a long time. You cannot usually go into being a TV chef right away, so if this is your dream, then it will have to be a goal that you work towards in time. To cook on TV is very different than cooking in a restaurant and whereas before you work fast and not always elaborately, for TV you have to show every step as you do it so that the viewers can understand and follow what you are doing. You will also have to explain what you are doing and why for the food programs on TV.

This part of working as a cook on TV will be greatly helped if you are already good with teaching others about cooking and directing other chefs in a kitchen. Your teaching skills will be highly used on TV as you are basically training and teaching your viewers how to cook, which is why they tune in to cooking shows. Your processes, techniques, hints, skills and steps must all be followed, explained, shown precisely and analyzed when you make TV cuisine.

When most people think of TV chefs, they think of the exuberance and fun loving cooking of Jamie Oliver. He is one of the top TV chefs, not just because of his great cooking, but because of his ideas, way of presenting and making you excited about cooking. If you think about it, you cannot taste the food that is made by watching TV, but you can get up and try to make it yourself. This is the trick of cooking shows and watching food programs in TV. If you have a live audience who will taste your TV cuisine, then you have to be talented at both presenting and cooking on TV.
