I am a pastry student at a culinary school in Chicago, and for extra credit, I need to find out why an apple charlotte is considered a pudding, when it is more of a baked tart or pie type item. Please help, i have been searching online and can't find any answers!

It’s a lore that extends back to the late 18th century when the Charlotte made its first appearance in literature, not as a recipe, as one would expect, but in Joel Barlow’s aptly titled 1796 ode The Hasty Pudding: “The Charlotte brown, within whose crusty sides a belly soft the pulpy apple hides”. Nearly a decade later, the first recipe for an apple Charlotte appeared in Maria Eliza Rundell’s A New System of Domestic Cookery. And it’s a recipe that has remained unchanged since.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that this so-called pud was named in honour of Queen Charlotte, whose reign coincided with the emergence of the sweet treat. She was reputed to possess quite a hankering for a good, crisp apple and to ensure a paradise’s supply of the fruit, the keen amateur botanist fashioned herself as the foremost patron of apple growers.

Hope this helps and gets me extra credit also. Good Luck!

I am lookin into two culinary schools in Chicago and I would like to know where they rank in status as far as culinary schools go.
I am a perspective culinary student, and I have interviews at two culinary schools in Chicago. I was wondering if anyone had information on how The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago and Kendall College are rated in in the culinary industry. Which is looked upon better in the teaching of cooking skills? And, which is better in the teaching of management skills?

The CIA is probably the top school in the country:

What is the best school in Chicago for culinary management.? I'm looking for culinary MANAGEMENT, not simply culinary arts. I'm looking for the trade school or university that will give me the best credentials, and thus the best job potentials to become a restaurant manager when completed. Are trade schools better or university-type schools?

I'm currently finding that, although I have management experience AND restaurant experience, I do not have management experience IN restaurants. Will a degree make a difference??

Good Question! I Need To Know Too…

Has or does anyone go to CIA in Hyde Park? I have my AAS in Culinary from another school, and I'm thinking about going to CIs for my BS. Unfortunately, none of the admissions reps want to talk to you unless you're ready to go NOW. Can anyone give me some inside advice on the BS in Culinary Management program? Do you think all of my credits (from Le Cordon Bleu Chicago) will transfer? Is CIA really as hard core as everyone thinks?

You can learn more and get answers from the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) at the link below. Someone there should be able to give you the answers you need.

Everything I've heard about the CIA is that it's fantastic.
