My daughter wants to become a Pastry Chef?
Lamont asked:
She is in High School now - getting great grades! She loves the idea of having her own business/bakery specializing in custom gourmet wedding cakes. She has info on the French Culinary Institute. Does anyone have any more advice for her or know of a better program? Tell us why you think so! Thanks in advance!
By the way, It’s the French Culinary Institute in the US - one campus is in NY, one in Philidelphia, etc…
Just wondered if it’s the best school

French Christmas Dinner Ideas?
canadianguyniag asked:
I am planning to make a big dinner for my family of Christmas Eve and I was hoping to make a french style Christmas feast. We visited France this past year and I thought it would be a nice touch for the holidays. I don’t want to cook a turkey or a ham as we are going to have that around that time so other ideas are great.
I have completed Culinary/Chef Training at college and I am an apprentice chef here in Canada so I am not really limited in anyway I just want to make something great for my parents this holiday season. Thanks.
I just wanted to get a French person’s opinion. Sure I could make something but I have no idea what the traditional meal is at that time of year.

If you were to impress a woman with your culinary skillz, which would you do?
Dashing Geek is in style asked:
1. Sex her all up and then make her quiche for breakfast.
2. Sex her all up and then make her waffles for breakfast; this option involves you taking your own waffle iron, which I would have to buy.
3. Sex her all up, bake a loaf of homemade bread, then make her French toast with it.
4. Something else?

NEED HELP FROM CULINARY EXPERTS?
Randy asked:
I go to a culinary school and have a practical exam. I need to make a dish with a protein starch and veg. I am given the protein on the day of and do not know what it is until then. The starch and veg however, i can plan ahead. Its a classical french class so classical french dishes are appreciated. I only have 1 hour and 15 minutes so if you have any ideas about what i can do, i’m looking to impress so mashed potatoes are out. I was thinking a spinach veg, but how would you do it? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don’t plan to work as a chef, but I would love to cook like one. Is it necessary to go to culinary school?
carfrk425 asked:
I like to cook a lot, and I am not really all that bad. However, I am not a chef and I cannot cook like one either… but i would love to know how to cook like gourmet chef (especially French and Italian disciplines) and maybe make desserts/pastries (french usually) too… Is it necessary or recommended to go to Culinary school? I honestly do not mind the $ for the culinary school, but I know it is a huge commitment and everyone at school takes it very seriously…
If I don’t have to, then what are the way I can train myself to cook like one?
