On the Search for Professionalizing Cooks

This study is an exploratory research whose purpose is to determine the possibility for a cook to firmly establish his/her position as a profession in the society. In that respect, it analyzed how much a cook as a profession was professionalized by investigating whether professional education institutions, official license systems, professional associations and ethics code existed or not in relation to the profession. The results of the study showed that in Korea, the cook as a profession was being supported by such institutions, license systems, associations and ethics code as mentioned above. This indicates that in this nation, cooks already have been moderately professionalized.
