The deserts, mountains and canyons of Arizona can provide healing of a different kind. Residents and visitors can benefit from both forms. Arizona experienced the second largest population growth in the U.S. during the last census period of 1990-2000 with a nearly 40% increase.
There is no indication that this growth is abating. The warm, dry climate attracts retirees and those seeking an alternative to cold northern climates. The spectacular terrain of this state attracts nature and outdoor enthusiasts. Needless to say, the weather and natural attractions draw tourists from around the world.

What Do You Need To Know to Get Into Culinary School?
As the Reluctant Gourmet, I have never been to cooking school, but I keep telling myself it's never too late. The best way for you to learn more about becoming a chef is to visit my new Culinary School Resource Center. Here you will find articles, books, school resources and many other useful resources.
Also, try reading as much as you can about going to cooking school and what it is like to be a professional chef. One book I highly recommend to anyone thinking about culinary school is, The Making of A Chef, by Michael Ruhlman. It will really help you understand what you may be getting yourself into. For a complete list of Books For Cooks.
