[Sca-cooks] Thinking about cooking courses/schools

[Michael Gunter]

I've been thinking of trying to find some culinary programs in my

area. I'm a good cook with a very wide and deep knowledge of 

food preparation and management. I've worked in restaurants, 

been a featured chef at farmer's markets, taught classes,

catered, researched and hosted tons of SCA feasts and buffets.

But I feel there is still so much to learn and I'd like to have a better

grounding in the basics. I need to gain the knowledge and skills

only a good program and instructor can provide. I watch shows

where professionally trained chefs can create sauces and dishes

from off the top of their head where I'd have to go searching 

for recipes. 

 

The problem is that cooking schools are notoriously expensive

and the local colleges don't have a particulary good culinary

program. 

 

My lady wants me to go to school for anything just so I can keep

my brain active and supports me learning more cookery. Now I 

need to figure out just what to do. Especially if I can find some

kind of accreditation program.

 

Any ideas on where I should go?
