THE LEGEND OF THE WESTERN CULINARY SCHOOLYou'd expect to find superb culinary schools in the larger metropolitan areas of this country. New York, certainly, has its share of well-regarded cooking schools. In fact the East Coast is dotted with culinary institutes of high renown. California is another source of good culinary education, augmented by its growing reputation for world-class wines. But its up in relatively quiet Portland, Oregon that a school has achieved near-legendary status: The Western Culinary School The School's Job The Western Culinary School has a broad based education and offers its program on a huge campus that is as modern and as accommodating as a full university. The courses of study that the Western Culinary School offers are taught by a very knowledgeable faculty that seeks to make sure that not only do the students learn the art and science of culinary studied, but also develop their own original and innovative slant on the various recipes. In this manner, the Western Culinary School imparts a sense of artistry in the student that allows the student to become more than a robotic chef who repeats recipes. When the student learns how to create and innovate in the area that he or she is studying, then the lesson plan and learning that has been undertaken becomes an organic expression of skill as opposed to repetition of movement. The Student's Job This does not mean that merely attending the Western Culinary School is going to make the student a top-notch chef. The student needs to put in the hours of practice that derives from self-discipline; the Western Culinary School can only do so much. At one point the student must take it upon themselves to make sure that what is learned is applied properly by way of practicing and performing the tasks until a total precision of development of skill has been acquired. Perhaps this is the ultimate hallmark of a great school. If the school creates an environment where success derives from a personal love for achievement, then the school has done far more than what would be expected of it. The school-student relationship is a partnership and when one complements the other to make sure that both benefit from success, then the success will be easier to achieve. |
