introduce students to ingredients and flavors in their respective Mexican and Chinese cuisines, and teach the cooks how to use them.in New York and a graduate of the recently closed Natural Gourmet Institute, says culinary schools should do a better job of preparing students for restaurant realities. “I had a grad come in who had never used a deep fryer,” she says.
The Culinary Institute of America has to reckon with not only a shift in student interests but the evolving role of chefs as well, according to provost Mark Erickson. He graduated from the associates program in 1977. “Before, we were preparing someone to put on a white coat and work the line at a hotel, but that’s changed,” he says.
For those that can’t or choose not to attend culinary school, restaurants that focus on regional cuisines offer cooks another way to learn skills and flavors that interest them. Davila says since opening her restaurant, she’s been floored by the amount of Latinx cooks who apply. Many say they’re seeking out her kitchen specifically to learn Mexican cuisine. “It was so emotional for me because they want to learn the food of their heritage,” she says.

Because what they are focusing on is technique... duh. 🤦♀️
There are thousands of classes/seminars about specific ethnic/regional food available to anyone. The point of culinary school is to get a solid base of techniques that can be used in every style of cooking. This article is lazy
Because it’s not TECHNIQUE. They teach French Technique. Does the persoj who wrote this tweet even know how to boil water?! What eff happened to this publication?!

Culinary schools are the biggest waste of money guys. It’s not a job that requires a degree. This industry is all about tactile on the job training.
Yeah.
God. Will this take 8 hours?
The writer fails to acknowledge that the major culinary schools curriculum is only partially focused on the flavor profiles of different regions(maybe this needs to be expanded).Their main focus is on food safety & technique.Its not about making CoqAuVin.Its about braising.
NY Culinary school only teaches you the basics, the foundation of French cuisine. It’s up to you to seek out opportunities in various establishments if you want to learn about different styles of cuisine & cooking techniques.
If we taught aspiring cooks *Nigerian* jollof rice, we'd be doing them a disservice.
this is once again another ill conceived Eater clickbait article. The foundational necessity of french cuisine is the difference between culinary literacy and illiteracy. But feel free to click so Eater can pay its bills
