I'm a cooking enthusiast looking to get a formal education in the culinary
arts, more for my own enrichment than for a career move. I have so far found
only a handful of schools, and my internet searches seem to be dominated by
the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago (CHIC). I also heard of a
place called the Chopping Block that runds classes/tasting sessions, but I
worry that it may be too casual for my needs. I'm primarily concerned with
getting the very best education possible, as this will be a lifelong skill.

I would appreciate any thoughts/advice on finding an appropriate school in
the Chicago area.

Thanks!

If you want the very best... why limit it to Chicago?? confused Hit
the CIA in Hyde Park, New York. But plan on a rough road getting in.

Sorry for the confusion. The school must be in Chicago because that is where
I live (and work!). I should also have mentioned that as I have a weekday
job, the school must have evening and/or weekend programs available. I know
CHIC offers these, looking for other possibilities.

Thanks again,

Ah, sorry then, I haven't a clue in that area. Good luck though!

Kendall College in Evanston also has a culinary arts program. I don't
know anything about it, except that it exists. Here's a URL --

I've heard very good things about Kendall College in Evanston. I used to
live in Northbrook, and Kendal is one of the few cooking schools I'm
considering attending. It has a very good reputation, and the chefs at all
of the restaurants I've worked in / applied to have heard of it. CHIC, on
the other hand, I've heard has a reputation for being a mediocre
mass-education style school.

For recreational cooking schools take a look at:
http://cookforfun.shawguides.com

We've planned a couple of vacations around schools we've found there.

The also have a listing for career culinary schools if you poke around their
site a bit.

If my memory is correct-you can have dinner here and see the students
at work in the kitchen thru windows-have also heard very good things
about the place. Think it is intended for those going to work in the
food service industry not the "gourmet" home cook person. Years ago
used to be some fab cooking schools in N Italy that were reasonably
priced-now their weekly tariff has a comma in it-damn yuppies did it.
