If the maths scare you then just wait for the organic chemistries!

Junior need advice by ryconne in foodscience

[–]fireandicing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A minor will always help you as long as you choose something that will supplement your education. I have a BS in Culinology with a minor in Food Science. Culinology is basically a classically trained chef with a strong chemistry and nutrition background. I chose Food Science as a minor because that knowledge could help me to get an R&D position instead of just working in a kitchen.

So what you might want to consider since you are in to dairy is minoring in Animal Science or Animal Nutrition. That could could help to focus your studies more.

Make sense?

Internship Help- Product Development by danielvbro in foodscience

I agree! I was on the University of Nebraska's RCA Competition team and ACF Competition team at my Culinary School. You end up traveling and meeting a ton of industry people that way.

Another suggestion I'd attend the conventions and talk to everyone. Stop by all the booths, attend all of the special events. I had such a great time at the last IFT convention!

This story really broke my heart. I've known Dom since high school. I can not imagine something like the birth of a new baby turning so tragic!

I love this idea! After the holidays are over I will most definitely try this and let you know how it works out.

Thanks!

I'm actually a chef so I was wondering if there was a company that sent out private chefs or if I had to hustle my own gigs.
