becoming a chef and working in new york?

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

so im 16 and lots of careers are open in my mind. well i would like to be a chef. but i would also want to make alot of money and maybe start a business of my own after many years(: i want to live in new york and i want to know the salary as a chef in new york and how can i start a business. i also want to like be a makeup artist and hair stylist during my own time for my own business sorta. like weddings and sweet 15 and 16′s and occasions. how can i do all of this how would i study ? and what good schools are in new york for culinary arts for chefs or chef training.

You can’t do it all, but you can do some of it. I may be able to help you with some of it. The first thing is to graduate from high school with a good GPA from a good high school.

Then go to a good culinary academy in New York City. Among these are Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, NY; The French Culinary Institute, New York City; The Institute of Culinary Education, New York City; The Culinary Academy of Long Island, Syosset, NY; Culinary Academy of New York, New York City; Wood Tobe’-Coburn School, Johnson and Wales University.

Find employment as a chef in a New York restaurant or hotel. The academy from which you graduated may be able to help you. You can expect a salary of between $70,000 – $140,000 per year, but you will not receive that at the very beginning of your career. You will have to work in a restaurant for ten to fifteen years. You earn while you learn during that time. You also save and invest your money. When you have saved some $50, 000 to $100, 000, you begin looking for building for a restaurant and equip it. You may have to borrow another $150, 000 to $200, 000. After that hire chefs, su chef, waiters, and other kitchen and dining room help. And open your restaurant. I wish you the best of luck.

I want to go to culinary school in new york, but my mom wants me to stay in ohio…help?

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

I told my mom that i was looking into the culinary institute in New York…and she goes "why don’t you go to the one at Hocking?"…..i don’t want to go to that one. Something about it i didn’t like when i visited.

Does she not want me that far away? I’m so confused…because she’s been encouraging me to go to culinary school for the longest time..now i’m really looking into it…and she doesn’t want me to go to New York.

I left Ohio to go to school in NYC. My family supported me, but they would’ve been much happier if I had stayed in Ohio. My grandparents even offered to pay for all of my schooling if I went to school in Ohio. I wanted to experience the BIG city life, so I made up my mind and left. It was really hard being away from home, but at the same time I got to experience a lot of things I never would’ve if I had stayed in Ohio. After college I stayed in NYC for another year and then I moved back to Oiho. Everyone is glad to have me back "home" even though I still live 80 miles from the small town where I grew up.

My parents were scared to death when I moved away, and your mom is probably feeling the same way. About a month after I moved to NYC, 9/11 happened…. it almost made my family go crazy, but we got through it.

If you are responsible, confident, and aware (i.e. not naive), then you should give NY a try. Do it while you’re young. It’s such a fast-paced lifestyle, I don’t know how anyone manages to live there when they’re older!

Good luck!

Diet-friendly Breakfast – Messy Egg White Omelet, 16 g Protein!

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Delicious healthy, diet-friendly breakfast that I make quite frequently. Super quick and delicious, great balance of healthy fats, protein, and low glycemic index carbs.

For information on the glycemic index and what high and low glycemic index foods are, check out:

http://www.glycemicindex.com/

For information about the capsaicin satiety studies, check out:

http://www.nature.com/ijo/journal/v29/n6/full/0802862a.html

(for the biochem audience: heavy on the technical information)

I get a lot of questions about how I learned to cook like this and where I come up with recipes like this one. My mom has a degree in French Cuisine from the then Peter Kump’s New York Cooking School (Now known as the Institute of Culinary Education). I grew up in her kitchen, cooking the way she cooks and soaking up as much foodie knowledge as my little brain will hold. Any recipes I post on YouTube will be completely of my own invention unless I explicitly tell you otherwise and list a reference.

For a low sodium version: use low sodium versions of the chick peas and kalamata olives, the primary culprits when it comes to the sodium content of this dish. This is a particularly good choice if you have high blood pressure.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a nutritionist or a fitness expert. Any knowledge I impart is seconhand and experiential. These are just things that I’ve used in the past that have worked for me. Always always always take to your doctor before embarking on any diet or fitness regimen to make sure that it’s healthy and safe for your body!

How much does it cost to go through culinary school?

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

I want to become a pastry chef and open my own bakery cafe when I’m older. I’m thinking of going to the French Culinary Institute of New York City or The International Culinary School of the Art Institute in Nashville, Atlanta, or Phoenix after high school. I am supporting myself after high school and so I’m paying for my education myself. About how much does culinary school cost?

It will partially depend on what city and school you choose. Different schools offer different program options, such as full-time, part-time, or accelerated. What the tuition cost will be will partially depend on which program you choose to enroll in. The best way to find out is to contact each of these schools individually for their program options and tuition fees.

Since you will be supporting yourself, you’ll also need to take into account any books, supplies, etc. you’ll be required to purchase, as well as living expenses. If you’re going to school full-time, you’ll need enough money to cover your living expenses since you won’t be able to work. A site like this: http://www.bestplaces.net/col/ can help you figure out how much it will cost to live in the cities you mentioned above, and if they are within your price range.

And do you think land loards would rent one out to a 21 year old?
