I want to take these classes because I cannot cook, to save my own life. And I can't always be dependent on my momma's cooking or fast food. So what credits do I need to earn before I get to college, if any credits. Is culinary school an extra class or something?
Before I entered culinary school I needed Math and English (that might be different for you in the US). Surprising enough, a cooking class in high school was not a requirement, and it's easy to see why - culinary school trains you to be a professional chef, whereas any cooking class, in or out of school, teaches you the basics for home cooking....they are quite different.
Some people love cooking for other people and seeing the expression they recieve from a great meal and how you can make different flavours from the simplest of ingredients. They would like to cook for other people as a career and work in restaurants, ofcourse they do get the benefit of learning how to cook.
It's a major in college and all you really need is hospitality & tourism and culinary arts. But there are cooking classes outside of college which could help you out if you're just taking it to learn how to cook.
What's the whole reason for taking culinary class if you are doing it more than just learning how to cook (like moi)
