Cooking Fresh and Local in Oregon Culinary Schools
There's a reason people love to live in Oregon: throughout the state, food and lifestyle go hand in hand. Local, fresh produce and seafood dominate a culinary landscape where schools of foodies can treasure hunt for crab, chocolate, tea, and pinot noir all at the same time.
If you must have locally produced chocolate or are willing to drive the extra mile for Oregon hazelnuts, you might explore some of Oregon's many cooking schools. You might think of cooking simply as a hobby, but imagine what it would be like to have your hobby as your job. While culinary schools offer hands-on experience from professionally trained chefs, they can also broaden your understanding of marketing, accounting, and general business management.
Don't waste all that foodie energy--culinary school can give you the skills and knowledge you need to run your own shop or restaurant. After all, Portland, Oregon has one of the highest per capita restaurant rates of any city in America.
