Learning valuable culinary skills is the foundation of a successful and passionate career as a chef. Often these skills are developed over the years in various roles within the culinary sector, and/or in culinary school. However, this summer aspiring chefs can get a jump start on this process as the premier culinary school in the south, Louisiana Culinary Institute, is offering two different summer camps for high school students; the culinary skills development camp and the baking and pastry skills development camp.
Both of these camps will be led by LCI’s expert chef instructors. These camps are open to high school students between the ages of 14 and 18. The culinary skills development camp will beheld on Friday June 14th. The baking and pastry skills development camp will be held on Friday June 7th.
The cost for each camp is $200 and includes: lunch, an LCI logo apron, and after completion every student will receive a certificate that can be used as a $500 credit toward tuition at Louisiana Culinary Institute upon enrollment.
This course will teach you the basics of cooking from LCI’s professional instructors. Knife skills, cooking methods, and more will all be taught before you prepare a full menu to enjoy. This camp provides a hands-on look at a day in the life of an LCI student.
This course takes an in-depth look at pastry and cake decorating techniques. From the basics of cake preparation to simple, step-by-step lessons in cutting, filling, and icing you’ll be able to create and make your very own cake. You’ll also learn how to prepare icing, use food coloring, and make leaves, flowers, and borders.
Spend this summer developing the skills that can make your culinary dreams a reality, and in the process earn $500 toward pursuing your education at the south’s premier culinary school.
