on cooking and art (part 2)
Writing by wisteria on Thursday, 9 of August, 2007 at 3:00 am
No matter how much creativity goes into it, cooking is an art. Or perhaps I should say a craft. It abides by absolute rules, physics, chemistry, etc. and that means that unless you understand the science you cannot reach the art. We’re not talking about painting here. Cooking’s more like engineering. I happen to think that there is great beauty in great engineering.

Anxious on finding a good cooking school to create “great engineering”, I surfed the net once again and came across this: http://www.baychef.com/student_services.asp
While I’m still undecided, I like the fact that, you are not only “in the middle of a culinary playground” at California Culinary Academy… they also help their students secure significant jobs in restaurants, hotels, resorts, bakeries, and other culinary and hospitality related businesses. What makes it more captivating is the student housing options and the personal and professional development activities that they offer throughout the term.
So far, so good. I’ll keep you posted on my final culinary school decision.
