Affordable Culinary School in Europe?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 

I've been researching a lot about culinary schools in Europe...but I can't seem to find an 'affordable' one. I am from Canada too, so the Euro is higher than the Canadian dollar. I'm tight on money, and I am actively seeking a culinary school to attend in 2012. Any advice? suggestions? 
I really want to go to France (haha like everyone else) oh, and and English speaking institute. Please help!!

What you will find is that the "professionals" in Europe  ie cooks, bakers, pattisiers, butchers, etc. take apprenticeships, and do not got to private culinary schools.

 

I really need you to think about your last sentence.  If you only want to speak english in France, and plan to stay there for any length of time,  you will be treated like a tourist.  Canada is a bilingual country and you have all available opportunities to learn French for your preparations for a trip to France. 

 

I strongly urge  you to learn French if you are serious about going to France,

Great point and I agree with you foodpump.

Cakeandcookie, there's something about learning a particular cuisine that comes with regularly eating the food, living the culture and speaking the language.

Imagine going to an authentic Chinese restaurant and the chef there is Caucasian that doesn't speak a word of Chinese.

How authentic does that feel? At best, you'd expect this from a takeaway place, not a restaurant hey?

My intention is not to be racist, but I hope you see the point I'm making.

 

 

It's just not right if you're serving the best French dishes and pronouncing them with a Canadian accent!

Jokes aside, if you really, really are serious about learning genuine French cuisine, learning the language should go hand-in-hand and that's not really a bad thing right?

 

Good luck on your travels by the way. A bientot!
