Audrey Claire Taichman is offering a really unique opportunity to aspiring chefs in the Philadelphia Real Estate community. The newly announced COOK MASTERS PROGRAM offers the opportunity to learn cooking from some of Philadelphia’s finest chefs, many of whom who were recently recognized by Travel + Leisure and/or Bon Appetit.
Here’s a description of the COOK MASTERS PROGRAM from the COOK Website:
“COMING SOON: THE COOK MASTERS PROGRAM! Philadelphia’s premier demonstration kitchen begins the once-in-a-lifetime cooking series for aspiring chefs THE COOK MASTERS PROGRAM: an instructional cooking series taught by some of the city’s and country’s biggest culinary names, for students who are truly passionate about pursuing a professional career in the restaurant industry. The first semester of THE COOK MASTERS PROGRAM will begin in January 2013. COOK has already secured an impressive roster of professional chefs as instructors. Signed on so far are: Michael Solomonov (Zahav, Percy Street Barbecue, Federal Donuts, Citron and Rose), Marc Vetri (Vetri, Osteria, Amis, Alla Spina), Jean-Marie Lacroix (Lacroix, Brûlée Catering), Pierre Calmels (Bibou), Nick Elmi (Rittenhouse Tavern), Jon Cichon (Lacroix), Georges Perrier (Le Bec-Fin, Table 31, Georges’, Mia, The Art of Bread), Guillermo Tellez (Square 1682, Red Owl Tavern), Peter Woolsey (Bistrot La Minette), Michael Schulson (Sampan, Izakaya, St. James Place), Jeff Benjamin (Vetri), Aimee Olexy (Talula’s Table, Talula’s Garden), Joe Cicala (Le Virtu), Jason Cichonski (Ela) and MANY more. Also involved in the project as partners are Philadelphia Magazine and Foobooz, who will help hand-select the ten students per semester to ensure they are invested in the industry. All are welcome to apply: line cooks, culinary students, dishwashers,aspiring chefs… No fancy resume necessary. Applicants will be chosen by one simple criteria: a genuine passion to cook in a restaurant kitchen. The overall goal is to grant each student as many as 20 hours of hands-on work with instructors. This experience will ideally lead to an intern position (“stage”) in a chef/instructor’s kitchen or even entry-level employment. The full syllabus and application details will be posted here and through Foobooz soon.”
Here’s what Audrey Claire Taichman has to say about the COOK MASTERS PROGRAM Program:
“With the help and generosity of our chef friends, we are working to foster the next generation of Philly chefs. This is such a strong culinary community – and we not only want to make it stronger but we all want to do our part to give back”. The COOK MASTERS PROGRAM courses will include: restaurant kitchen and hospitality fundamentals, advanced knife skills, butchery, charcuterie, sauces, baking, pasta-making, meat-curing, fish cookery, cheese making, beverage pairing, dinner service exercises and more.”
Sounds like a really great opportunity. I’d love to hear some reviews if any of you end up going.
