Don't worry about your English.

A friend is going to attend a brief cookery program in Gullin (Guelin?). I'm not sure if it is a fulltime, professional school, but at least that's a start for you.

Hi Hime

How did you get on? I am very keen to do some cookery course in China - but it is very difficult to find any info on what is available

Did you find anywhere?

Thanks

Steve

I have the same question as you. Am currently attending culinary school in Los Angeles, but thinking about going to China and wondering if there are any schools in the Guanzhou/Hong Kong area. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks.

I was there in March with my boyfriend who is a real foodie and a lover of Sichuan cuisine.

We went to the Sichuan Institute of Higher Cuisine to see the school first hand - the same school that ***hsia Dunlop went to in the early 1990's. It is an amazing place - they actually have two campuses with a total of 7,000 students.

The one that is in the heart of Chengdu has a three year program - which of course is all given in Chinese.

When I was in Chengdu I met with the administration of the Sichuan Institute of Higher Cuisine and told her we would like to have a short term program in ENGLISH. They were very cooperative and said if we could get together a group of 10 then they would run it.

I am trying to put this together for the Spring of 2010 - if you have interest in learning more please send me an email.

Note that last year the school did a four month program with the Culinary Institute of America which was successful - but it was a bit long for me.

If you are concerned about the facilities... I can assure you that this school is the real deal... not for tourists... but for chefs... If you have three years to spend in CHina it would be great... but even a two week experience would be worthwhile.

I have lots of pictures of the school - just email me for more info.
