How do I pick a school for baking and pastry in New York?

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

After two years at community college with a liberal arts degree, I’ve decided that I want to go to school for baking and pastry. My ultimate goal would be to open my own bakery, but obviously that is just a dream right now. Now that I’ve made the decision, I have no idea where to start. I live on Long Island, and I know that the Culinary Institute of America in New Hyde Park would be my best choice, but its simply too far. A school in Manhattan would be optimal, and I know there are plenty, but my question is, which are the best schools to apply to? It is important that the school is accredited because if not I won’t be on my dad’s health insurance.
I’ve looked at the Culinary Academy of Long Island and the Art Institute of New York, and have read about the French Culinary Institute and the Institute of Culinary Education. How do these schools rank on terms of credibility?
So I need to know what the best accredited schools for pastry and baking are in New York, preferably in Manhattan. It also wouldn’t hurt to know which schools not to apply to. Thank you in advance!

First of all good for you and secondly, go visit the schools to have an opportunity to watch the other students while in class. You would also have an opportunity to chat with them about why they decided to attend that particular school. Visit with an admission rep about accreditation. The other thing I would do is google some well known pastry chefs in your area and find out where they went to school.

Italian Culinary Academy featuring Donatella Arpaia

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

For over twenty years, The French Culinary Institute has been one of the leaders in the industry, counting icons like Bobby Flay as graduates and master chefs Alain Sailhac, Jacques Pépin, André Soltner, and Jacques Torres as faculty members.

We completed a brand overhaul for The FCI that positioned it at its rightful place at the top and showed the world that it truly is Preparing the Best.

The integrated, multi-channel acquisition campaigns that followed – including TV, radio, online, print, and direct mail – significantly outperformed any in their history.

This spot features Donatella Arpaia promoting the Italian Culinary Academy and is part of a campaign that also features the likes of David Chang, Jacques Torres and Ron Ben Israel.

Looking for some advice as to which Culinary school is the best choice in Texas?

Monday, June 14th, 2010

My son will be graduating High School in a few weeks.
He has a strong desire to go to Culinary School and some day, own his own restaurant!
We live near Houston and would like some advice on possible schools. So far his first choice is “The Culinary Institute of America, San Antonio” and his second choice is “Texas Culinary Academy, Austin”
I would appreciate hearing from students that have attended either one of these schools.

Actually, his school of choice was “Le Cordon Bleu in New York”, but due to the distance and expense, it is out of the question. We were told the Texas Culinary Academy in Austin was a branch of the one in New York.

The Culinary Institute of America in New York is one of the best culinary schools in the US, I’m not sure about the one in San Antonio. I’ve been planning on going myself for the past few years, but I’m having second thoughts just because of what I’ve picked up so far working in the industry. If they have the same requirements, and I’m pretty sure they do, they will require at least 6 months kitchen experience prior to starting. And believe me, this is good exposure, working in a professional kitchen is very different from what you see on the food network or from home cooking. Getting that experience will make sure he knows what he’s getting into. I can’t stress that enough. There’s really nothing glamorous about it, in fact, it can be down right brutal… But if he has the passion, he should go for it.

Plus, I’ve talked to a lot of chefs, and majority say that experience and attitude are key to working in a kitchen. In fact, almost all of them say that everything they learned from school, they could have learned on the job. Don’t just ask the schools for their opinion on this, they will just try to sell the school idea to you, talk to people in the industry, they will give you a better understanding of things.
