The Beginning

I decided to start this blog to document my journey on the road to becoming a chef. This way my friends and family can be up to date on what I am doing in the culinary world.

I was recently accepted to The Art Institute of Michigan in Novi, yay! I will begin my first semester in the Culinary Arts Program on April 5th (SOON!). Luckily some of my previous credits transferred so I will be graduating with my Associates next May and my Bachelors the following May. Woo hoo! I am SUPER excited because I love to cook! Eric and I recently went to an Open House for the Culinary students and Eric fell in love with the place like I did. Only he was thinking about all the yummy (I hope) food I will have to make and bring home for him! So we got a tour and then we got to listen to one of the Chef's speak about the program. Basically as soon as I pass my Sanitation course I will be in the kitchen cooking. The first course is basically Intro to Culinary and The Chef described it as Culinary Boot Camp (Whoa)! That sounds scary, yet exciting. So I cannot wait! I JUST got all my financial aid taken care of so I am good to go to set up my schedule and will report it as soon as I get it. Chef did explain that we have to take pictures of all of our dishes to document where we started and how we ended up. SO I will be posting those here to document them! BTW, he said we will have over 1000 recipes when we leave...holey moley!

I just gave my two weeks notice to my employer yesterday because I accepted a part time job doing Food Prep at a Hospital right near my school. So I am entering a new adventure and would like to share it with all of you.
