Overview


The newest title in Barron's expanding Aspire Series offers practical advice and reliable guidance to young men and women who are considering careers as chefs. Aspire Series books focus on a variety of rewarding career opportunities by presenting self-teaching tutorials in which students must complete a series of progressively more challenging projects.
