1. Which country?
2. I've heard CIA (Culinary Institute of America) is one of the best.
3. Culinary Instsitute of America (CIA) is a prestigious school in Hyde Park, NY and it's very hard to get in.....even seasoned chefs go there to attend classes. I toured there once and its a beautiful school. Also, in Chicago there is a school called Washburne Culinary Institute and the French Pastry School.....I hear they are great schools. Hope you find one that works for you.Good Luck
4. Cordon Bleu in Pasadena, Ca is a good culinary school.
