I live in England and want to study a Culinary course in California! How would I go about this? Any suggestions for schools other then California school of Culinary arts? Also when does the academic year begin?
Thx

How to go about doing this is actually quite simple, you just apply to said school as an international student. The school's website will provide you with all of the information you need regarding the process to do so.
Once you are accepted you will then be issued what is known as an I-20 and with this you then need to pay the SEVIS fee and schedule an appointment with the American Embassy in London for your F1 (student) visa.
The academic year varies from school to school. Some schools will just have one enrolment period which will be in the fall (August), while others will have two enrolment periods, fall and spring (January).
As for culinary schools or universitis which offer this course, you will have to do this research for yourself.
I am starting culinary school in late May to attain an Associate's Degree. My long term goal is to open a pizzeria/Italian restaurant. As I am a vegan, I would like the menu to be almost exclusive (with perhaps SOME dairy variation, but NO meat) to vegan choices. I have seen this done to great success in a few other major cities and believe that with the proliferation of restaurants catering to vegans here in Chicago – a vegan based pizzeria/Italian restaurant would be a huge hit. I have looked into spaces in busy parts of town and have found several 1,200 to 2,000 sq ft places for 3 to 4,000 a month in rent. Is this a suitable space to fit a full kitchen (this would include the stone pizza oven and all of the other equipment necessary for this particular kind of food) alongside 10 to 12 tables (I want the dining room to be somewhat small with only 40 to 50 persons dining at a time) and a waiting area for takeout orders? I also would like to know the costs of advertising, staffing, etc
To expound – I have read that the average food cost is 30%. For every $10,000 net in food, a third of that is taken by cost of ingredients. Is this realistic?
In terms of staffing, since it's pizza and simple italian dishes (stuffed shells, heroes, calzones, lasagna, etc) – what size staff should I anticipate? This would include dishwasher, cooks, waitstaff, etc.
I am only 23 at the moment and would like to do this in the next ten years or so and I would like things to be planned to the T in that decade of time before doing this. I want to open a restaurant that becomes a mainstay and staple wherever it is located – not a venture that simply folds after a few months to a year or two.
My goal immediately following the attainment of my Associates is to become a fulltime personal chef for several years. As this particular field boosts a pretty comfortable salary yearly if done right, I would like to ideally have a couple hundred thousand saved up within the next ten years time. Is this figure a decent one to start and keep the restaurant afloat with?
I'm well aware that opening a restaurant will take 80 to 100 hours a week of my time – I don't really care though. As this is my dream, I would naively imagine that while stressful, it would ultimately be worthwhile.
I would however like to know if the financial benefits would match the sense of accomplishment. I'm not desiring to get rich off of owning a restaurant, but I would definitely like for my future family and I to be comfortable…

ok im vegetarian but im goin to a culinary arts school soon. could i be a good cheft witout cookin meat? i was thinkin in the future abou tmakin a vegetarian restaurant will that be a good idea? would ppl actualy go to my restaurant? thanks in advanced.
Yes of course. I own a restaurant and 2 of our line cooks are vegetarian. They are line cooks not because of lack of talent but because they are young, new to the trade. They are on the veggies section permanently.
One thing though, they handled and cooked meat in culinary school.
I plan to go to the CIA(Culinary Institute of America) to learn and get a culinary degree and work in restaurants for experience and then set up my own restaurant. How much does a culinary education cost? And, what kind of cuisine can we learn at the CIA? Can an asian set up a italian or english restaurant? Instead of their own race. Are there any good culinary schools in South East Asia? In Singapore?
There are various culinary schools in Singapore like SHATEC. Go to this website to search for various culinary courses available in Singapore

If you are interested in going to the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), you should consider Temasek Polytechnic's Diploma in Culinary & Catering Management because students enrolled in the Diploma in Culinary and Catering Management will be co-trained by TP's own international award-winning Chefs as well as chefs from the renowned culinary authority, the CIA. TP has tied up with CIA to allow students to get an associate degree in America in 12 weeks, or a bachelor's degree in one and a half years.
It costs $2500 a year for a local to enroll in this 3-year diploma. This course would also provide opportunities for training in entrepreneurship and in running your very own restaurant. Regardless of race, you can start any restaurant you want as long as you can run one well.
very interested in culinary arts. I was wondering if there were any places to further my knowledge. esp when it comes to sea food. I know theres horry tech but im looking for in Florence.
After you have worked in the food service industry for a few years, if you are still interested, call the Florence Chamber of Commerce.
