Hear from a Culinary Boot Camp graduate who traveled from Ohio:
"I completed the one-week Culinary Boot Camp and had an absolute blast. Though I don't have many years of cooking experience, I knew this was a skill I wanted to improve on this summer. The 40-hour intensive was a perfect way to delve into culinary school. Food and cooking had always been important to me, and this experience has truly changed my life.
From Knife Skills to flavoring to food presentation, I've learned an incredible amount of information in such a short time. My class was 6 students, and we had 2 chefs per day instructing us. Everything was hands-on, and all of the food we created was ours to eat and share!
I came from Ohio especially for this course, and thought I'd be the only one traveling from far. Turns out I was actually closer to Chicago than those traveling from New York, Texas and Wisconsin! No matter where you're coming from, it's definitely worth your while."
