LE CORDON BLEU MALAYSIA
Are you a fresh grad stuck at a crossroads? Want to be the next Gordon Ramsay or Rachel Ray? Is culinary school the best fit for someone like you?
In simple terms, enrolling in a culinary arts programme will help you gain the skills and knowledge needed to work as a chef in the kitchen, including the ability to not only cook but also to invent new recipes, keep the kitchen safe, operate the kitchen effectively, and many more. While necessary, you could also argue that some of this can be taught by working your way up in a restaurant instead but bear in mind that it’s only to a certain extent.
If you’re reading this, you (or someone you know) are probably planning to enroll in a culinary school but are still on the fence about whether it’s the right fit for you. You’ve come to the right place. Here’s a researched guide that offers more insights about culinary school and its perks!
Explore Your Passion for Food
In-depth culinary education isn’t necessary to work in a professional kitchen or in the food industry. However, it can certainly help. Attending a culinary school can also support your commitment to food as a career rather than merely a job. Someone who’s devoted to a career in the food industry may be preferred by chefs over one who only views the position as temporary employment in a field where turnover might be significant.
Freedom and Creativity
The art of cooking is a beautiful medium for self-expression and social interaction. During your time in culinary school, you’ll have the chance to create new recipes, experiment with unusual ingredients, and create your own restaurant concept. If you want to express your creativity via food, the culinary arts are a great field to pursue.
Industry Networking/Global Job Opportunities
The only way to truly understand the value of connections is through working. You increase your chances of meeting people from various business sectors by enrolling in relevant courses and attending as many events as possible. You could even get to seek their guidance on how to deal with challenging substances.
Moreover, making the most of your contacts is important if you work in a field where it may be necessary to move for better opportunities.
Earn A Better Salary
When you choose the best cooking schools in the country, you have access to better (and higher-paying) jobs in the area. Many of the better restaurants and resorts recruit out of the cooking schools and this gives you a better chance of working for these places. These places also pay higher than your average restaurant, giving you the opportunity to earn a great salary. There are many reasons to go to culinary school and it’s all going to come down to two: is it for the arts or for the profession? You will have to decide which is based on your own goals in life.
Travel The World & Share Your Culture & Personality
You could indeed travel the globe while pursuing a degree in culinary arts. You have access to studying abroad at many institutions as culinary appears to be a vast subject. Studying the culinary arts in Paris for a semester is the best way to learn about French cuisine. In the same way, knowing about German, Italian, Asian, and other international cuisines is also beneficial.
Learning about the culinary arts will also expose you to Malaysian cuisine culture and experience it first-hand. You will also be able to learn about new things and spread this knowledge to those who are curious to know about the Malaysian lifestyle via food.
