I mean really basic. I heard of Shermay’s Cooking School but it’s too expensive. I got all the flyers from different community centres but they are just lessons that just teach you how to cook certain dishes. I mean really reallly basic stuff like chopping and peeling all that. I know all of them but I want to go back to it and really find out everything basic before moving on. Are there any workshops like these?

so, you want to be a chef is it?i guess there is a place where you can learn a basic cooking technique, you can try check 88db site for cooking classes & lessons that start from the basic..good luck

There are many Cooking Schools in the USA but by far the most famous and prestigious are the Culinary Institute of America CIA and Johnson & Wales University. They are both easy to google, and if you check their websites they will be happy to send you information about how to apply.

CIA – Culinary Institute of America in Rhinebeck, NY.
I have several friends who attended this school and went on to great careers as chefs.

YES! You can get listings through the links below since I don’t know where you’re at or interested in learning at<g>.

how much do any well known cooking schools cost? they dont say on their websites.

Here’s the current tuition for Cooking Schools:

1) Los Angeles Trade Tech – 2 year course: $975 total;
2) Culinary Institute in Pasadena, San Francisco [aka Le Cordon Bleu] – 2 year course: $58,000 total;
3) Red Kitchen in Hollywood and South Pasadena [affiliate of Culinary Institute] – 6 months hands-on training: $20,000.

And the actual starting salary for a chef in Los Angeles: $14 per hours or $30,000 per year.

Good luck!

I am lookin into two culinary schools in Chicago and I would like to know where they rank in status as far as culinary schools go.
I am a perspective culinary student, and I have interviews at two culinary schools in Chicago. I was wondering if anyone had information on how The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago and Kendall College are rated in in the culinary industry. Which is looked upon better in the teaching of cooking skills? And, which is better in the teaching of management skills?

The CIA is probably the top school in the country:

I am looking in to a crash course … but could not find anything . and no art institutes in the area carry sushi under culinary arts.

there are none in the area even if there is I wouldn’t recommend, it’ll be waste of time and money. there is one in California, unless you really have the money to burn. your best bet is on the job training. if you really want to learn sushi.
