Exploring Culinary Arts Schools in New England
The largest population in New England may be in Boston, MA, but the culinary arts scene in that region of the country extends even far and wide. Small mountain towns and seaside villages have a long history of unique fare (lobster, anyone?), and anyone looking to a career in the culinary arts would be well-advised to look for schools and jobs in Massachusetts or beyond. You could be a pastry chef in Boston or a café manager on the coast of Maine—the choice is about what suits your lifestyle and your career goals.
Cosmopolitan Cities
Boston, MA is the most cosmopolitan area of New England. With major schools like Harvard, MIT, and Boston University, bright minds come to study—and play—in Boston. Weekends are meant for strolling along the waterfront or taking in a Red Sox game. And afterward, Bostonites like a great meal, which isn’t a problem in this hot spot of the culinary arts.
Given that, there’s certainly no shortage of culinary arts jobs in Massachusetts and greater New England. Hot Boston restaurants like Radius and Antico Forno feature some of the best culinary talents in Massachusetts, and with the right education and experience, you could be working alongside them. Good pastry chefs, for example, are always needed to augment the expertise of the haute cuisine chefs that draw people to their restaurants.
Earn a Degree
A pastry chef in Boston, MA however, must first have a strong background in the culinary arts. Experience with knife skills, safety, and kitchen management are almost as important as getting ingredient and flavor combinations right. To gain this experience, look into culinary arts certificate or degree programs in and around Massachusetts.
The best part about attending a culinary arts school in Boston, MA (or anywhere in Massachusetts or New England) is that you’ll be able to enjoy a rich quality of life while getting your education. Getting a culinary arts degree or certificate is always a good idea, especially if you’re looking for a specialized job in the culinary field. Since Boston has some of the best schools, it’s a great place to study the culinary arts.

The Culinary Institute of America is the top culinary school in the US, and they have a *fabulous* pastry program. They're located in Hyde Park, NY, and a lot of their former students work at the best restaurants in NYC and beyond. They also have a campus in Cali, and I think maybe one in Texas.
They're very well respected.
Culinary Institute of America, especially the one in California, is excellent.

Two schools that aren't on this list but should be are two of the top schools in the country, the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY and The French Culinary Institute in New York City.
As a Le Cordon Bleu culinary graduate hopefully i can shed some light on the situation…..we used the same book in our kitchens classes (the hands on cooking classes) for the entire time…..Professional Cooking fifth edition….by Wayne Gisslen….its a great book to learn from…just start at the beginning…..I'm sure if you are just looking to get a head start….if you found one of the older versions of this book….perhaps used….it wouldn't make much difference…..
in addition to our cooking classes (skills, soup stock sauce and starch production, meats, seafood, baking, advanced classical cuisine, advanced international cuisine, and garde manger) we took related courses such as…..sanitation, food service cost control, wines and spirits, purchasing, communication, food and beverage management…..and so on
hopefully this gives you two some kind of idea as far as what is ahead…..every culinary school is different…..but these are some of the things that i experienced in my education.
Good Luck to both of you!!
ive been working in kitchens for 20 years. Every CIA chef i have worked with, 4 to date, has failed. . . miserably. I am starting to think that they teach a class there that conveys the message "you do not work, you are in charge". I am telling you that wherever you go to culinary school, what will matter in the end is YOUR reputation, and YOUR work ethic, and the respect you garner therewith from your employees, i.e. cooks and dishwashers.
Depends on many bases, price of school, location, creditbility, classes,
The highest priced schools- in U.S. would be CIA culinary institute of america, Johnson and Wales University, Le Cordon Bleu, Art Institutes,
For Location- CIA is in NY, JWU has 4 campuses-Rhode Island, North Miami, Denver, Charlotte, Le Cordon Bleu in Scottsdale-Florida many other cities, Art institutes- many in TX, CA, FL, other states,
Creditiblity- JWU offers degrees, CIA/Le Cordon Bleu/Art institutes offers diplomas/certificates
I think a degree looks better then a certificate.
After finishing high school,you can attend either the Culinary Arts Institue of America in Hyde Park,NY or Johnson and Wales in Rhode Island or other colleges that offer Culinary Arts Program.They are usually 4 years long,like most colleges. Then usually every two years you can take a test and upgrade your degree.
Do an Internet search or check with your local Technical school.
You can search for culinary arts schools all over the world at this site. you can also find them by city and program if your interested in one thing specifically.

There's the Cordon Bleu program in Pasadena, California (about 15 miles north of Los Angeles.)
I really think its up to you… You can always call and compare them.. I think that's the best way to do it. No matter who you pick, It'll be the best and I'll still be by your side..
Collierville is a small place- I think you're going to have to Google Culinary Arts Schools Tennessee and see if there are even any in the state- I've never heard of one, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I live in Hendersonville, near Nashville. You may have to go out of state. Good Luck

Came up with that website when I did a search for "culinary arts degree".
I would contact one of these and see if they could tell you of the one located in London.
