Classic Culinary Arts (600 hours)

Classic Culinary Arts at The FCI won't July 14th


just teach you French cuisine. It will
quickly teach you the building blocks of
all great cuisine.

Our Culinary Arts program is designed by true masters. Chef


Jacques Pépin is known as "the Zen master of technique." Chef
André Soltner, from years of knowledge, creates dishes that are
fresh and simple, yet brilliantly nuanced. Chef Alain Sailhac,
whose experience - and reputation -- are worldwide. If you
dream of achievement like theirs, you need a culinary school like
ours.

In just 6 months by day or 9 by night, you will get the equivalent of years of experience.
Every class session, you will be taught in a rigorous, intense, hands-on environment by
distinguished Chef-Instructors. They will work side-by-side with you, correcting,
demonstrating, encouraging you. There will be all the attention you need because the
typical student to teacher ratio is 12: 1.

Level I introduces the basics of classic French


techniques: knifework, vocabulary, basic
cooking methods and organization. Your
distinguished Chef-Instructor will be working
side by side with you to correct and guide you. Dressed in your chef's whites, you will be
cooking from the very first day.

Level II takes the skills you've learned and applies them, adding timing issues. Each day
you prepare a buffet-style meal for your "family" of students, faculty and administration --
the whole school. With this experience, you'll prepare a five-course meal for your Chef-
Instructors.

Level III places you in a disciplined, professional kitchen, as you


prepare dishes for our own L'Ecole restaurant, highly rated by
everyone from the Zagat Survey to Wine Spectator. Refining your
skills and taste day by day, you test your creativity by developing
daily specials and seasonal prix fixe menu.

Level IV gives you direct responsibility for L'Ecole's daily menu. Under wise supervision,
you'll rotate through every station of our acclaimed kitchen. Completing your creative
Final Assignment and your Final Exam , you'll show that you are ready for anything.
Including taking on the culinary world. And we'll be there to help you do that, too.

Classes start regularly. When can you start?
