Inspect Culinary School: Three Semesters Of Life, Learning, And Loss Of Blood Chronicled By S.J. Sebellin-Ross Formatted As Kindle

written, informative

This was a good look into the world of culinary school, warts and all, As she is a journalist, I wished the author had done even more research into how typical the smallish percentage of cooking vs lecture and cleaning were in this particular school compared to others.
Do all schools just teach technique, or do others teach why, and do they teach creative techniques and how to develop recipes It also seemed like she was the only one who was a very good student or really loved cooking.
I kept thinking that her being older than the others, and experienced in the work world, changed her perspective greatly, How aware was she of how much this affected her experience Librarian's note: This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN BXVZPBG,

This is not the sanitized look at school spoon fed to us by the likes of The Food Network, Written by a culinary school student, this is the searingly honest story of what really goes on behind closed culinary school doors,

From what is is like to slip on the crisp white chefs coat for the first time through the horror of slaughtering and cooking your own lunch to working on the line in the searing hurry, hurry heat, you'll learn what it is really like to be a culinary school student.


More than ten years ago we were introduced to culinary school by Anthony Bourdain, Culinary Institute of America graduate in Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, In The Making of a Chef: Mastering Heat at the Culinary Institute of America, Michael Ruhlman expanded this introduction by visiting classes at the CIA, Now, more than a decade later, Culinary School: Three Semesters of Life, Learning, and Loss of Blood completes the circle with a real life account of what it is like to be a fulltime culinary school student, today.


Get an inside look at the real world of culinary school, by someone who knows what it is really like to learn how to be a professional chef.
A friend of mine who is a short order cook recommended this, I love reading about anything to do with the culinary world I'm a voracious Food Network watcher, too so this was an easy buy,

It's well written and goes into a lot of detail, The author paints a nice picture about the students and professors who prefer to be addressed as Chef and exposes some pretty pathetic practices at the school, I won't bother to explain, but let's just say elementary school bullshit is alive and well in culinary schools,

Strongly recommend the read, I own many of this author's other books, too, and find them generally good, kindlefood Liked the book, many good observations on the reality of culinary school but at times felt the author was drawing over generalized conclusions on the nature of culinary schools in general, that were in fact simply an artifact of her having chosen a

bad culinary school for herself.
In any case, worth reading particularly as both a contrast and comparison to the Ruhlman book, Loved this book. Perfect for those of us that love to cook and will never go to culinary school but want to live vicariously, It was funny at times and sad too, but it was always so interesting, I loved the Anthony Bourdain one but that is so old it was nice to read what is happening in the schools these days, If you want to know what really goes on at these cooking schools then I can't recommend enough that you read this one, I think about it every time I go to restaurant to eat! S, J. SebellinRoss is a journalist by trade, but like so many of us, is also a foodie, She decided that she wanted to go to culinary school and write a blog and subsequently this book about her experience, I followed sitelinkher blog while she was going and enjoyed it, so I picked up the book for the Kindle,

SebellinRoss approached a wide variety of culinary schools with her plan, finally settling on a small regional school, The plan was that she'd do the culinary school for the traditionalsemestersdays per semester and the baking school for, At the end of her time in the culinary portion, it seems obvious from what she says in the book, anyway that the school was having issues, It also seems that some of her classmates found out that she was blogging about the entire experience, and the offer to do the baking curriculum was rescinded,

I enjoyed this book, though I'd read many of the stories before on the blog, I think I was most surprised by how much "common" culinary schools don't teach, . . I guess it goes to show that in the industry, real world experience probably is best, . . or maybe a CIA education, The book doesn't talk about how some of the wellknown schools differ from the one she went to, though it does say that most people who go to culinary school go to one like she did.
All in all, while it sounds like SebellinRoss had some valuable experiences, it seems that nothing was what she, . . or I expected. Guess I'll stick to being a home cook and baker and going out to eat at fancy restaurants, S. J.
