History Of Job Interviews

Whatever kind of history you pick, be it military history, government history or that popular catchall "world history," there's simply not a lot of glamour. Food history, however, is a various kettle of (poached) fish entirely.

The most typical title provided to a specialist of food history is that of cooking anthropologist. Deborah is the go-to woman for anything including food history for the program, and is seen on-camera regularly.

Cooking anthropology will take you all over the world, also. Consider the simple flatbread, a food product discovered in nearly every world culture. In South America, it's the tortilla. In Europe, it's the crepe, and in America it usually takes the form of a pancake, although our culture is so homogenized that all the others take equal prominence.

Generally, it's a basic, unleavened or gently leavened bread that can be used either as a food on its own or to wrap around other foods to make them portable. In the procedure of looking into the history of this food, a cooking anthropologist from a Texas college traveled all over the world, appearing on cooking programs and local-interest programming from Bangkok to Dublin.

Food history is more than just cooking anthropology. Any major history job requires someone who can act as the voice of authority on what individuals or culture involved consumed, and you'll always find jobs there. The possibilities for a food chronicler are really infinite.
