NECI is located in Montpelier, VT. I work in the hotel/travel field and guests that have been coming to "my" hotel for many years regularly went to their dining room. I believe they stopped serving the public a couple of years agop but may have resumed. You might find more info on NECI in a VT web page or through the Chamber of Commerce? Good Luck. (I became a pastry chef at a restaurant in the late 70's because the PS at the beginning of the season got done. I was her asst and just stepped into it. I now have an 11 yr old who is interested in Pastry Chefs in general. She enjoys doing the baking at home, but hates the clean-up! If you have any do's or don'ts to suggest for her, that would be great!
: Does anybody have information or knowledge about this school?
: i've been working in the industry for 10 years and know that without further education will not step up the ladder. I haven't heard anything re:N.E.C.I.,bad,good or indifferent, I don't want to travel that far for nothing.
: Also, your input on any affordable culinary schools.
