Taste of Home Cooking School: A Few Hours Or A Diploma

from: Learn to Cook - by Norman O'Brien

So, you're looking for a down-to-basics taste of home cooking school? Then North America, with its home-style comfort food culture, is the perfect place to look.

The very popular Taste of Home cooking magazine specializes in nostalgic foods from the fifties. These simple yet delicious comfort foods were and still are favorites among Baby Boomers. In fact, Baby Boomers are so keen on reclaiming the foods of their childhood, that the magazine offers a taste of home cooking school.

The Taste of Home Cooking School is a little different from most cooking schools in that its culinary team actually travels to its students. Each year, the crew visits over 250 communities across the United States.

The Taste of Home Cooking School offers daytime or evening presentations lasting from 1 ½ hours to just under 3 hours. Students are taught a variety of cooking techniques from easy prep meals that can be made in under 30 minutes to more elaborate meat dishes. The lessons also include tried-and-true cooking tips covering everything from better grilling to seasoning with fresh herbs to prepping vegetables for later use.

And this taste of home cooking school makes attendance very easy; instead of passing an entrance examination, students just need to buy a ticket for the evening or city of their choice. The very reasonable ticket fee includes a freebie bag filled with recipes and sponsor coupons.

For those making a last minute decision to attend, tickets may be available at the door. But be warned, the classes are very popular.

But perhaps a taste of home cooking school means something much different to you.

If your roots are Greek, Italian, Japanese or African then your taste of home cooking school will offer much more than meatloaf and Rice Krispie squares. From pralines to baklava to miso or coconut bean soup, a quick search on the Web will bring up any number of institutes specializing in the foods you were raised on.

One well-rounded taste of home cooking school is the Capital Culinary Institute in Keiser University, which is situated in sunny Tallahassee, Florida. Like other quality colleges, this program covers all aspects of cooking including the basics as well as a full variety of ethnic cuisines.

Any of the Le Cordon Bleu programs offered in 11 states, are also great sources when searching for a taste of home cooking school. These highly respected institutions, patterned after their Parisian French parent, cover everything from cooking basics to food safety to cake decorating.

So, regardless of your ethnic heritage, you are sure to find a taste of home cooking school that will make your mouth water and your face beam with fond memories.
