Customer Reviews

good reference

This is a good reference, similar to those publications that describe colleges and universities or graduate programs. It gives you the basics of cooking schools (recreational and professional) in each state... cost of tuition, length program, number of students etc. It is a good guide for anyone who wants to know what kind of programs are out there.

A good place to start looking

This book is a good refernce for anyone considering a culinary education, but most of the information can be found elsewhere and the information provided made it dificult to evaluate the actual quality of the school. Still, it is a good starting place and it's nice to have all this information in one place. Also, some good listings in the appendix of cost breakdown.

It's all here-and on the web.

This book is a useful reference tool, and not much more. Besides, nearly all the information in it is available on the web. So why pay? The book provides the standard stats on cooking schools - cost, class size, start dates - etc. But a table listing all of these data would be great.

Easy-to-use, comprehensive resource

Great reference for anyone considering a career as a chef or who wants to take a cooking vacation. Detailed, yet concise, descriptions of hundreds of programs, mostly in the U.S. & Europe. Well organized and indexed. Not much info about programs in South America, though.
