Culinary Institute of America (CIA) St. Helena, Ca 94574 Greystone reservations 707 967 1010 My trip to Napa county this last weekend was definitely a “song” for my mouth. Delicious food and wines to be had for miles and miles. For years my husband and I drove these roads and would come across the Culinary [...]

Happy March everyone! Im back to writing about cooking school, for anyone whos interested in reading more about it. Since Im a recent graduate of culinary school myself, it was time for me to get a job. I started work as a barista at the Spoons Café in Baltimore but despite answering questions about coffee [...]

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone’s enjoying 2007 so far and what better way to enjoy life than to dine out? Maryland is full of little out-of-the-way places to eat that are easy to find…if you know where to look. My friend Nancy, a teacher at my former high school, suggested that our friend [...]

http://www.pazorestaurant.com For a couple of years now, I’ve been hearing about tapas dining; I’ve even seen it referenced in the name of some of Baltimore’s local restaurants, like Tapas Teatro or Khali’s Mezze (mezze is apparently Greek for appetizer).  When I asked one of my more sophisticated culinary friends to explain the popularity of tapas—as [...]

http://www.elkridgefurnaceinn.com I can still remember the first time I dined at the Elkridge Furnace Inn.  It was on a whim, on a Sunday morning about three years ago, and they were serving brunch.  At the time, I was an inexperienced culinary connoisseur—and, looking back, that is a fairly generous assessment.  I had never really experienced [...]

As the days to graduation become fewer and fewer, it’s hard to believe that three stressful years can fly by so quickly. I came to culinary school knowing nothing about cooking but wanting to learn and now I have more information than I know what to do with. Every day, I saw hard working, dedicated [...]

Clyde’s of Columbia – www.clydes.com The Iron Bridge Wine Company – www.ironbridgewines.com Baltimoreans don’t have to just limit themselves to eating at restaurants downtown or within the city.  One of the many attractions to the Baltimore restaurant scene is its proximity to other culinary points near the city.  Namely, there is Towson/Timonium to the north, [...]

http://www.bicyclebistro.com/ There are only a few restaurants that I have dined at this year that have left me wanting for more, so much so that, even seven months later, I can still taste certain dishes and flavors. Two are part of the Cindy Wolf/Tony Foreman restaurant machine in Baltimore: their French bistro, Petit Louis, and [...]

If anyone knows the value of eating out, it’s a cooking school student. Not that we can’t stand cooking of course, but it gets a little repetitive and after five hours of a lab and/or more hours at work, you’re done for the night. So what better than to go out to a restaurant after [...]

Salt—A New American Tavern 2127 E. Pratt St. Baltimore, MD 21231 410-276-5480 www.salttavern.com Evidence that Baltimore is quickly becoming a major player in the culinary scene is the recent addition of several eclectic and very un-Baltimore-like restaurants. Whether they are new Italian restaurants replacing the more traditional standards in Little Italy or more sophisticated and [...]
