Trust me you are going to want to post about culinary school. My wife went through the program there and every day she had a new anecdote about either a kitchen mishap, a fellow student or a professor. Some of the stories were funny and some of them would just make you shake your head in disbelief. Good luck!

I’m new to reading your blog. Certainly appears you have a good thing going with the current content. I’m betting the same readers that tune in to hear about your dining and cooking experiences would also be interested in your tales from culinary school.

Courtney as a fellow student at MCI I think it would be great to hear about the ups and downs. I try to do it on my website but I write like a 3rd grader. You would do much better job.

I really appreciate the feedback and I must say, it’s not what I expected. I’m tossing around the idea of including a weekly post about what culinary school is like at MCI. One could say that I am taking this blog a bit too seriously but … I know no other way.

For the cooking labs, I took the requried ones (Cooking 1, 2, 3, and Baking 1) and then for extra ones I took Baking 2, Butchery, International and I’m in Garde Manger and Nutritional now. I think Baking 1 was required, but I can’t remember. Let me know if you have any other questions. Have fun and dont worry too much! I know it can be intimidating in the beginning!

To echo the previous comments, I too would like to hear about your Culinary School experience. The Midwest Culinary Institute is an extremely well respected program, but is one that I don’t think many know too much about. A perspective from the inside would be very neat for the readers to experience…and I would not view it as a negative to chronicle your progression.

As for everything else, I’m consistently blown away by your photography. Your writing is interesting and I love just about everything with this site. Keep up the great work.

I’d love to hear about culinary school, too. I think all of the amateurs out there are fascinated by people who actually learn to cook for a living.

Hi Mandy, I’m also in the certificate program and am planning on extra courses. Which ones did you decide to take? Very glad you stopped by.

I’d love to hear about your cooking school adventures! I’m also in cooking school at Cincinnati State and would love to compare and contrast our experiences. I’m in the certificate program but have taken many extra cooking labs than are required. If you have any questions, please email me. Love your blog!
