      Yeah some schools only allow students to film while in class for study purposes.There used to be a show on cooking channel called The Freshmen class. It featured students just starting culinary school. Was pretty insightful and entertaining. Some of the stuff was over dramatized for TV but it did give me an idea of what to expect when I attended culinary school in 2016. As a grad this video had me smiling lol.

      hi there! it is obviously all up to you in the end, but I definitely believe that there is no such thing as too much education or learning experience. with that said, you seem to already have a career, so I think you should definitely take some culinary classes rather than attending a college, unless having a degree is important to you! the CIA is definitely a wonderful school and will teach you many things, but you will also have to take academic classes so if that is not for you than definitely look into culinary classes!!

    Random question but what if you follow a vegan 🤨 lol 😂 that’s an actual question. Like should you not go to culinary school if you struggle with dealing with animal products?

      If your a B&P major then you rarely have to deal with meat. But you have to work with things like dairy and eggs for both majors!
