The educational offerings at the Epicurean school are actually divided into several different sections. The first two deal with becoming a professional chef, there are three that deal with learning all about baking, and there is also a department devoted to cake decorating.

The cake decorating classes teach students the basics of cake decorating from the most simple cakes all the way to elaborate, spectacular special-event gateaux cakes.

The main focus of study at the school is classic French cuisine. Students are provided the training they need to become professional chefs, or just to cook to professional chef standards. The professional chef sections are designed for students who are serious about pursuing careers as professional chefs.

The Epicurean School also provides beginner classes teaching students cooking basics and how to handle kitchen equipment properly. These classes prepare the beginner cook for taking the higher level professional chef courses.

All of the classes offered at the school offer students plenty of hands-on learning which permits them to experience cooking like a professional. If you are considering a career as a chef or in another area of the culinary arts, you will be making a good choice by attending the Epicurean School.
