As a culinary professor for the last 22 years and a total of 45 years plus experience in the Hospitality Industry my philosophy on education is to provide practical culinary/pastry/baking experience in a dynamic setting, by combining both theory and practical culinary/baking/pastry skills.
I believe students must build a solid foundation for individual creativity in there profession. A well-rounded student appreciates the rich tradition of the culinary as a profession and as an art form, and should understand the basic business principles of a successful food service operation, and must be thoroughly prepared to enter the industry as a creative and professional culinarian.
