Culinary Institute

[smilingcat]

CIA, Johnson & Wales are both very good.
So are New England Culinary Academy/Institute??

And there is always LeCordonBleu. They've expanded their school from Paris and now has schools in US, Japan and elsewhere. No they didn't originate the CordonBleu chicken. It's the school Julia Child went, it was the story line in Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn. Loved that movie BTW...

for more information go to school listings
and everything about cooking web site

I haven't been on chef2chef for several years so I'm not sure what's on their forum. Mostly nice people and no flamers as far as I remember. You can really get involved in talking about the concept of "umai" and other interesting tid bits. Also tricks of the trade.


uggghhhhh!!! I'm trying to find the culinary school in SF. A place an acquaintance went and she said it was the best thing for her. They actually run a restaurant so you learn about running one as well. Learn about being a host/waiter/waitress/cook... Learn about the front of the house and the back of the house operation.

What does your daughter want to learn?? Pastries and baking or cooking?? There are also other "tracts" available. More serious schools have hotel mgmt as well.
