Alpine Cooking School

Alpine Center’s cooking school was founded in 1989 and started offering aspiring chefs the opportunity to not only learn how to cook and prepare themselves for a culinary career but the curriculum also included courses such as menu planning, menu costing, managing people, accounting, food and beverage cost control—all to prepare them to manage a kitchen eventually. The blend between practice and theory is a very important aspect of Alpine’s culinary arts preparation.

At Alpine Center’s cooking school students learn how to cook in all types of restaurants and how to prepare banquets. Students practice and work closely with students enrolled on the events and conventions management course. Together they organize events such as theme nights, fashion shows, birthday parties, dinners for dignitaries, and various parties. The students are encouraged to be very creative and it is amazing what ideas they come up with.

As part of the curriculum, students also learn about restaurant service and wine and beverage service so they are prepared to run their own business one day. They are taken on field trips to visit wineries and also different types of restaurants where they sample the food and critique it as part of an assignment they have to produce.

Students have come from all over the world to register at Alpine and get a world class instruction and experience at its cooking school. As with a top cooking school students will learn all the art and science behind the flavors and gain the skills they need to work in the culinary field. Students learn about hot trends in dining, unusual culinary careers and plan their careers carefully. Future chefs from many countries decide on joining Alpine Center because they know they will have the opportunity to learn from international chefs and prepare themselves for a bright culinary career.

Graduating from Alpine Center’s cooking school most students are able to find work immediately as the culinary arts field expands and grows exponentially.
