Culinary Boot Camp - Basic Training (Hyde Park, NY)


So you want to learn to cook…I mean, really cook? Here’s your chance. In this five-day course, you will become well-versed in the fundamentals of cooking. Your assignments will include hands-on training in knife skills, kitchen terminology, dry-heat cooking methods (roasting, grilling, sautéing, pan-frying, and stir-frying), and moist-heat cooking methods (braising, shallow poaching, deep poaching, and steaming).

As a Basic Training participant, you’ll receive two chef’s uniforms, each with a jacket, pants, and a neckerchief. Paper chef’s hats, side towels, and aprons will be provided in class.
