I always enjoyed cooking and eating all my life, and my father has owned a successful restaurant. Having that insight into that world has inspired me and made me want to pursue as a chef. Even if you are someone who is young and want a career in hospitality sector, don't have a restaurant or any other kind of catering business in your family, the important thing is to have passion, drive and energy. I have always felt and still do that there is a lot to explore in the hospitality sector and you can never stop learning. The reason that I and many others in the industry feel that there ought to be more youngsters entering the sector.
There are so many excellent restaurants in the UK now, yet there is such a shortage of youngsters following in the older generation's footsteps. The more conservative sectors in sub continental culture have long held the view that hospitality is a subservient and therefore a lowly profession, when that just isn't the case. In food industry , I have learnt many things like food analysis and food policy , nutrition , globalization , as well as about managerial issues , I have also learnt a great deal about food ingredients during the years I worked in hospitality sector so all of this has given me a learning curve . It's important to remember that there is no such thing as an easy job. Sometimes you even have to start at the bottom of the rung and work your way upwards. In the hospitality sector you often have to do long hours as any one who works in a restaurant will tell you. But that is a part and parcel of what you take on if you want to be a success.
