Skill Development Boot Camp (Hyde Park, NY)


It’s in you. Somewhere just below the surface is a talented culinarian just waiting to create some magic in the kitchen, and our Skill Development Boot Camp will help you make it happen. This amazing two-day program offers an accelerated, comprehensive lesson in the culinary arts that gives you the confidence and dexterity to shine.

Come to the CIA, and release your inner chef! You’ll explore the fundamentals of cooking as you work in our kitchens, attend wine-tasting lectures, and enjoy illuminating discussions. During your two days, you will build the culinary fundamentals:
  • Learn new knife skills.
  • Examine the principles of product identification.
  • Study basic cooking methods.
  • Become immersed in the basics of food and wine pairing.
  • Tour the CIA campus.

When you enroll in CIA Skill Development Boot Camp, we will supply you with a chef’s uniform, which includes a jacket, pants, and a neckerchief. Paper chef’s hats, side towels, and aprons will be provided in class.
