The Chef Is In

April 21st, 2009 by Career seeker

People pursuing higher education today have so many options. We are bombarded with advertisements for colleges, universities, online distance learning centers and institutes offering higher learning coursework and programs. If you have the desire to go back to school or take classes, the number of options to choose from is dizzying.

After career counseling and advising, I decided to go back to school to be a chef. With a passion for food and past experience working in restaurants, it was a natural choice for my future. I got the education necessary to become a chef by attending culinary arts institutes. I visited several chef schools and choose a program highly regarded for head chefs. There, I perfected my trade and learned the cooking secrets of top chefs who acted as teachers.

My interest in culinary arts stemmed from watching my grandmother in the kitchen. The smell of certain foods cooking can conjure up an image in my mind of her manning the stove. With the precision of a military general, my grandmother went to the grocery daily to purchase fresh ingredients to cook for her family. Now that I am a chef, I can cook for her and she can enjoy my creations.

Getting Closer to My Dreams

December 16th, 2008 by BC

When I recently told my friends and family that I was interested in some high quality culinary training           at one of the different Culinary arts institutes that are out there I told them I did not really know how to go about choosing which school I should pick to attend. No one really knew how to help me at first so they began asking around for me to see if anyone knew anyone else who might be able to give me some suggestions. I did not just want to give up my hard earned money to just any old school, I really wanted to find a good high quality one because I wanted to learn the art the very best I possibly could.

Eventually someone told me about a place called Culinard and suggested that maybe I should try checking into their programs and see if I might find a match for all the things I was wanting to get out of the program with them. I told them I would definitely look into it as soon as possible. Of course then the holidays came up and one thing led to another and I have not had a chance yet to look further into it. But I will soon.
