Hi,
Currently I am working with a chef privately one day a week trying to apprentice to become a chef as there is no culinary school for me locally. I am wondering if this is a viable option as I am spending the whole day preparing food that I am providing for the instruction. The problem that arises is the cost of food and trying to prepare it 3 times during the week before my next lesson. Obviously this is far too much of the same type of food for a family to consume. The cost is somewhat prohibitive, not to mention the waste of food. I'm wondering if there are other options available that anyone may know of short of me relocating to attend culinary school. I am working and planning in between all of this to attend the Pacific Culinary Institute of America in Vancouver, B.C. Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts: Culinary Arts, Culinary Schools, Culinary Arts Schools does anyone have any experience or input with this school? Or in the alternative is the best way to become an experienced chef just to work your way up in a restaurant kitchen and if yes which type of restaurant would yield the best experience. Thank you for any information you may be able to provide to help me in my quest to become a chef.
