Thanks.Any friendly advice on how to survive a culinary arts program?
Of course you will survive it. Right now I am taking classes at the Professional Culinary Institute in Campbell, CA. As the others have said, as long as you take your education seriously, you'll most definitely fly through. Usually, these schools are full of happy, eager people that share the same interest as you do - cooking! I've already made so many friends here.





Some advice that I'd be happy to share is to learn from the people around you. Chat with them, discuss what you're doing in class, learn from their mistakes and learn from their achievements. You will learn so much more than just relying on your own experience. Oh, and ask your chef questions!





Good luck and I hope you have fun.Any friendly advice on how to survive a culinary arts program?
Sure you will! But, take it seriously, too. A culinary arts program can be grueling. You will be amazed at how much information and technique you will be learning in a relatively short period of time. Be a sponge, take it all in and try to retain what you,ve learned. When you get out there in the big, bad world of ';chefdom'; you'll find that the more you paid attention in school the better job you'll get and the faster the promotions will come.
