Finding the right culinary school that fits your expectations is the first step to an education in the field of Culinary Arts & Restaurant Management.

When I asked Chef Terrell Garrett, a graduate of The Art Institute of Houston, about going to school there and if would he do it again, he told me, " Absolutely!! It was a fun experience and validated every thing I had learned during my life of cooking as an avocation."

Below is a list of locations where you will find one of The Art Institutes culinary schools plus a list of programs they offer. Please note, programs vary by location. And don't forget to read my interview with Ja'Lisa McKeown, a culinary arts student currently enrolled at The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Michigan.

The Making of a ChefWhat 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.
