Hospitality Careers

Australia’s tourism and hospitality industry may see a boost in the wake of Oprah’s visit Down Under, but it can’t afford to rest on its laurels.

You make a mean soufflé, can chop vegetables at the speed of light and have relatives lining up for your food at family BBQs – but could you handle the heat in a real commercial kitchen?

If you want to become a chef, one of the first things you will have to decide is what type of chef you want to be and what you want to call your specialty.

With the success of shows such as MasterChef and My Restaurant Rules, the hospitality industry has been put under the spotlight – and it seems that people like what they see.

With Celebrity MasterChef set to hit our television screens next week, reality TV fans, foodies and ordinary Australians are eager to see how a politician, news anchor, beauty queen, journalist and fashion designer handle the heat in the kitchen.
