    Modesto was founded in 1870 and is in the San Joaquin Valley. In the center of one of the greatest agricultural areas in California, Modesto is just 1 - ½ hours from Sacramento and 2 hours from San Francisco and San Jose.

    Besides being known for their wine production, they also grow nuts, fruits, dairy and poultry products. With a population of just over 200,00 residents, has an average age of 35 with a median income of $85,017.

    There are a few good schools in this city offering programs in culinary arts, baking, pastry and hospitality management. The right one for you will depend on many factors including location, programs offered, cost and scholarship availability. You'll find community colleges, both for profit and not for profit schools, big institutions and smaller establishments. The school(s) listed below are some of my top picks based on accreditation, reputations and student reviews.

    Read, Read and Read Some More

    One of the best suggestions I have for anyone thinking of going to culinary school or just getting into the restaurant industry is to read everything you can get your hands on. Learn from professional chefs who have worked in the industry and those who have taught in culinary schools.

    There are many great books available to get you started in your culinary education and I suggest you read as much as possible before making that big decision to make sure this is the right move for you. Below is just a sample of books you might be interested in checking out.

    For a much more comprehensive list of books for aspiring culinary, baking and restaurant management students, I suggest checking out my post on books for future culinary students and chefs.
