In New Hampshire, Cooking by the Sea Draws Students, Stomachs Alike

Seafood is an essential commodity to New Hampshire residents and chefs, who treasure the fresh lobster and crab caught daily by local fishermen. Fresh seafood draws tourists from Boston and New York, and New Hampshire restaurant managers, caterers, and chefs should have the best career prospects in larger cities such as Manchester and Nashua.

NH Culinary Institute Graduates Benefit from Tourism

Tourism generates over $1.2 billion in income annually for New Hampshire, and restaurant and hotel workers are happy to share some of those profits. Personal income is above the national average and cost of living is in line with other states in New England. Low taxes and access to quiet, forested land are additional draws to residents of the state.

Small cities generate much of New Hampshire's tourism revenue, and culinary school graduates may consider cities such as Portsmouth when job hunting. New Castle, which boasts the honor of being New Hampshire's smallest town, enjoys the restaurant and hotel income brought in by the Marriott's Wentworth by the Sea resort.

Cooking Classes Teach a Variety of Skills

Students of culinary arts schools enjoy training in a range of fields, from pastries to sous chef to executive chef training, with additional courses for catering, restaurant management, and more. Salary.com reports that executive chefs in Manchester, New Hampshire may earn between $47,777 and $106,818 annually. While no chef training program can guarantee a career or salary, hiring managers in this competitive field generally prefer formal culinary arts education.
