Culinary School, Questions for current students? I would like some advice from students currently enrolled in culinary arts programs. I want to be a chef, go to culinary arts school. I have applied to several, but am having a difficult time getting in. My only kitchen experience is in a college cafeteria kitchen, which is obviously far from gourmet cooking, but I thought it would still count for something. If you are currently in culinary school, what experience did you have before enrolling? Most schools are telling me I need more kitchen experience, which I kind of understand, but it is also frustrating me. Like I said I know college cafeteria cooking is certainly nothing like real, gourmet cooking, but it has taught me somethings. We serve 2000 people a day, therefore things like my knife skills and organizational skills have improved vastly. It just frustrates me, because I thought culinary school was supposed to teach me, not my prior work experience. Advice? Should I work at a restaurant for a while, then reapply?

Does a culinary background complement a science degree? I am definitely an Alton Brown fan, especially for his show "Good Eats." I love how he talks about the "why" in cooking and making food. I find it so interesting. I researched his background and he went to NECI to get his culinary education. On the NECI website, there is an article about Alton Brown and he made a flash video as a talk to future students. Here's the link: http://www.necialumni.com/profile_altonbrown.html?q=alton_brown.html# In his video (if you click on the link), he talks about the culinary industry. He says that a culinary background really complements a degree in one of the sciences in the industries. I trust AB with almost everything he says, but he only has a degree in drama to go with his culinary education. I'm going into mechanical engineering (aka science degree) and I love to cook and find the science of cooking very fascinating. So, my question is: Would a culinary background complement a science degree, such as engineering? Thanks everyone.

Culinary School Dilema.? I am planning on attending culinar school and I am in between 3 choices. Johnson and Wales in Denver, Cook Street Culinary in Denver, and Le Cordon Blue in Miramar.

At cook street it is the shortest, but most specialized choice, and the cordon blue is where my siter goes. I could live with her, but the school is 1.5 yrs , still enough for a loan and not that top notch. Have an y of you been to culinary school (especially these 3)?

I would probably have to go to college due to familial pressure, but could I take night classes or something to see if I am really cut out of the pro-cooking world? A part time gig, so to speak?

How much more do culinary school grads make compared to other cooks? The government data for culinary salaries doesn't make a distinction between cooks with an without a culinary education. They do have seperate categories for chefs, but they're using the dictionary definition of chef, meaning a cook who supervises other cooks rather than just anyone who cooks "fancy" food for a living. Most of the other categories can include both people who work at chain restaurants, and people who work at the best restaurants in the country. It makes the salary info very confusing. Also, culinary school educations go from trade school certificates, to 4 year degrees. Just how much can a cook with a culinary education from a respected culinary school, like I.C.E or C.I.A, expect to make. Honestly, the low salaries listed for the general category "restaurant cooks" are really scaring me, but I figure most of those people are employed at chain restaurants, so I don't know if I have anything to worry about. Birdlady, thanks, a lot of people have told me the same thing. However, although I don't have info about how much more money grads actually make, I do know that most cooks at the higher end restaurants have gone to culinary school, especially the actual chefs, so not getting a good education would be a barrier to getting ahead. I just wish I knew what the starting salary of a culinary grad really is. I know it may not be as much as I hoped it would be, but there's just no way that there's not a difference in pay.

Culinary School???? hey every1... I would love to go to Culinary school but im not a great cook...I know I would love cooking if I actually knew recipes and how to make things...So what I would like to know is: DO they TEACH you how to cook in Culinary school...or Is it for people who have talent for cooking..? I know this may seem like a dumb question but I would still like an answer. thnx! By the way, cooking is just a second route...I would like to get a degree in something else...Prob. buisness administration or sumthin like that and then if I feel i can I would like to attend culinary school.... The reason I write this is so that no one says "You can Do it"...Maybe the more appropriate thing would be "Good luck to you In 5-10 years"..Which is when I would like to go to C.S.... Thanx to whoever said Good luck....who knows maybe in a year(which is when I graduate Highschool) I may decide to go to Culinary School first and see how that works out for me..

Culinary School Question? I am in a "quarter life crisis" right now and I finally realized I am going to do what I want and become a chef. I live in Chicago and have access to some good culinary schools but there is not a lot of information out there on them. Is anyone firmilar with the Chicago schools? Are all culinary degrees just two years? I want to learn how to really cook and all the techniques and not a "hospitality" degree. If you can help me out with some info I would love it, thanks! Sara2727 thanks for the great answer!!!! Does the "name brand" of the school have a lot of bearing on your ability to get a job? My goal is to open my own place and not work for others.

Culinary Arts-other career options besides Chef? Ok sounds weird, but I have the opportunity to go to Culinary arts School- for free!! Awesome!! I love cooking but i do not want to be a chef in a restaurant. I used to work in one and the Chef was a glorified line cook and his job was nothing like how you see chefs on TV working. I would love to have my own cooking show or something along those lines. WHAT are some other career options besides Restaurant Chef, Sous Chef etc... I am wondering if I should take this opportunity or pass it by. Thanks

Is culinary school a bad idea? I am currently a senior in college getting my bachelors in psychology. I am debating going to law school or culinary school. I have a passion for both. What are the job opportunities like for someone who gets a degree in the culinary arts? I want to open my own restaurant but i'm just scared i'll end up working as a burger flipper at mcdonald's instead. Should I just be more practical and go to law school where a good job is more attainable? I always see these fancy french chefs on tv and that terrifies me because i feel like I couldn't hold a candle to them.

Culinary Arts degree? I've always loved food but my mom has never been a big cook so I don't have much experience. More recently I've been interested in cooking and I think I can be really good at it. Most things I make turn out well, I'm a quick learner and I've got pretty good leadership skills. All qualities for a good chef, right? The community college I go to has an amazing culinary arts program but... I'm scared. Its something I've never done before. Are there many jobs for chefs? Any feedback would be helpful, thanks guys
