Chef School: Homework Never Tasted so Good
By Emily KerrIf you take classes at a school for chefs, you can learn the theory behind cooking. It's not all just baking and boiling. In hands-on chef classes taught by master chefs in modern, fully equipped kitchens, classes will include intense, practical and comprehensive teaching on cooking technique and the theory behind cooking. You'll learn safe food management techniques, how to choose the freshest, tastiest fruits and vegetables, the cuts of meat, the types of cheese, and how to pair wine with each course.
What's Cooking at Chef School?
Technique classes at chef school will be augmented with hands-on demonstrations from visiting chefs, with discussions on style, creativity and global cuisine, as well as the basics behind questions like, what's charcuterie?
If you're looking for a career and you're in love with food and with cooking, chef school might start you on the road to a new job you'll love. But chef school can also be the recipe for success if you're looking to start a catering business, work in the hospitality industry or simply want to impress your friends with your ability to whip up the perfect souffle. Whether you're working on a degree program in chef school or taking classes for fun, chef school can enhance a career or start one, or just make you the most-loved host or hostess.
Charcuterie, by the way, is a French term for cooked meat, most of the time meaning cooked pork sold by a charcutier, including ham and sausages.
