Hi from Nanaimo, BC

[chef33]

Hey all. Looks like a great place. Can't wait to check it out.

Me-33, married, 3kids, fulltime kitchen worker. My title is a little fuzzy right now. I'm waiting for the results of my ITA exam.

So, for now, i'll say cook.

I work at a great golfcourse & i'm a golf fanatic, so it works out pretty well. I'm fairly proficient at my job, although i'm just starting to delve into the baking world now.

Rantrantrant...anyways i look forward to reading & posting in the future.

Well, i passed my ITA exam & have a red seal now.

I'm not entirely sure what my next move is, but i'm betting it will pay better now.

It wasn't bad. I mean, you've gotta know your stuff. But alot of it is straight out of the line guides, gisslen, on cooking, etc. Most of it i found was general knowledge.

A couple of the dessert questions killed me, though. Peach melba & cherries jubilee are not part of my everyday life.

& study the poultry cuts, too. I overlooked that one...

Hello to All,
Hurray on yr Exam.....I'm from Montreal, and ready to Jump.....for the second time...back to school.

I have been looking at some school in BC and Ontario,any recommandations???? I'm searching for a good technical school, some people have been telling me about the Community College in Vancouver????.

I have looked at some $$$$$ school, and it's nothing personal ,however some of them it's more for the name then the program they offer.

What about the Art institute or the Malaspina University-College. I had a bad experience with George Brown College..... and I'm not getting any younger, I would really appreciate some feed back from all of you guy's , Chef, Student, ect.....
Tk's.

[chef33]

Malaspina is fairly renown for their program. Heck, i went there a long time ago. Nothing bad to say about it, for sure.

Recently i've been working with various people that went to Camosun in Victoria that think the world of that program.

It really depends on what aspects of cooking you're looking to concentrate on or where a person is in terms of development.
