What are some cook-it-yourself restaurants in New York City?

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

I’m wondering if there are any basic cook-it-yourself restaurants in New York City. I searched and mostly came up with Culinary Schools offering 4 to 5 hour classes, but I’m looking for something a little more basic and that wouldn’t require much experience in cooking.

Camaje on MacDougal and Bleecker Street gives cooking classes; sounds like an interesting choice of courses.

Place the oil in a bowl and spread a little of it on the palms of your hands. Knead the dough, gradually adding more oil until you have a smooth, elastic ball.

Authors@Google: Jen Lin-Liu

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Jen Lin-Liu visits Google’s Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss her book “Serve the People: A Stir-Fried Journey Through China.” This event took place on November 5, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.

Lin-Liu’s Serve the People records her years living and working in Shanghai and Beijing, when she attended a vocational cooking school and discovered a passion for Chinese cooking and culture. Growing up in the U.S. to Taiwan-born parents, the author admits feeling alienated from her heritage when she first moved to China in 2000. She begins her account with her frustrating yet ultimately rewarding study at the Hualian Cooking School in Beijing, where she apprenticed to one of the school’s instructors, Chairman Wang, an old-style cook raised during the Cultural Revolution, who taught the author the rudiments of chopping, shopping and how to pass the cooking exam. Incorporating stories of many of the Chinese she worked alongside (and their recipes), as well as trips to the MSG factory in Henan or to the rice-growing Guangxi province, Lin-Liu offers a thoroughgoing, spirited celebration of overcoming cultural barriers.

Jen Lin-Liu is a Chinese-American writer and the founder of the cooking school Black Sesame Kitchen. A restaurant editor for Zagat Survey and the coauthor of Frommer’s Beijing, she has also written for Newsweek, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Saveur, Food & Wine, and Time Out Beijing.

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

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

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

The French Culinary Institute and The Institute of Culinary Education are two of the best. They have great instructors and comprehensive courses.
