I want to get into the culinary field but...

OK so I love to watch people cook, my TV basically stays on food network, I want to go into the culinary field but I have no experience cooking what so ever. Would someone like me be able to go into such field? If so what should I do to begin?

You could most certainly get in. You could sign up for some culinary arts classes if you feel you need to be educated. Otherwise check your local listings and see if there are any cooking jobs and tailor your resume with what you have learned from watching food network;-) a resume is your photograph to a potential employer so if I were you I would start by getting your resume updated to fit your next cooking job. cheers!

Thanks for the comment =). I'll see about finding a culinary school I can get into since I actually no near nothing about cooking.

the best thing to do without professional cooking experience is to go to culinary school. I graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta and enjoyed every second of and even miss it at times.

Culinary school is an excellent option, and an alternative to that ( if you don't have the money/time) would be to take a position as a dishwasher. It's the lowest rung on the restaurant hierarchy(requires no prior skills, although it takes work and calculation), but it's an excellent opportunity to learn and become familiar with restaurant work. After adding prep duties to your dish washing regimen, and working hard and showing an interest, the next step will be your promotion to line cooking ( probably take a year or so unless openings come up unexpectedly, and probably as garde manager first). This is the long way, and not as thorough of an education as culinary school, but it certainly it a great way to learn about cooking, while experiencing the real life atmosphere of restaurant work. I would actually recommend this to start with before going to school, as the restaurant life can be quite grueling, annoying, and tiresome and riddled with unsavory behavior and characters, however it is also quite rewarding and something that many people ( including myself) absolutely love.
