: I am 26 years old, live in southern California, and have no experience nor a college degree. My primary experience is in the secretarial field. I am interested in attending a culinary school with the goal of working in a good restaurant, mainly based on the enjoyment I get out of cooking and baking. Can anyone out there who may be like me give me any advice/feedback..particularly those who have "been there"? Thank you!
Hi Jen,
There are plenty of excellent cooks but very few GOOD bakers, pastry baking is a good ticket to have.
Try a short course in pastry and get a PT PM job assisting in restaurants to see if you like the pace.
My partner was originally a secretary and I taught her.
Cheers, Gerard.
