If you want to keep improving your skills and knowledge, you can never
stop learning. There are many ways to learn new things, and taking
classes is one of them. Do you have a skill area you need improving--
take a class to brush up your skills. Are you great at something but
want to get even better--take a class! Taking a class might mean
working one to one with someone, especially if you need specific or
higher level training. You could take individual classes at a culinary
college or trade school; get instruction at a smaller non-degree
cooking school; or you could even contact a chef to get one-on-one
training. Of course it will cost you money and a chef or restaurant
might say no, but it's worth a try.
You can gain insight to artisan products and produce by exploring
farms where these products are made or grown. For example, Chef Eric
of 911cheferic.com will lead students on tours of farms, vineyards and
Chateaus near Quebec City and provide cooking classes, incorporating
the produce into the classes. If you want French or French Canadian
instruction, Quebec City would be excellent, French influence is
strong here, with French being the predominant language. Most people
are bilingual, so it's no problem if you only speak English. Quebec
City only a few hours drive from New England.
Let's Get Cookin' in Los Angeles has a class called The Mexican Market
Tour. This class tours markets and bakeries around East Los Angeles.
You will learn about Mexican cuisine and the varied ingredients and
products that go into Mexican cooking.
Living Light, the premiere raw organic vegan cooking school in the
world, has a 17 day chef training course so you can become totally
immersed in this discipline. They also offer a primer course,
Fundamentals of Raw Living Food.
Here's three examples of diverse cooking and food experiences you can
gain that will give you a broader knowledge and skills to help further
your cooking career.
