Culinary School

I started Culinary school at Vancouver Community College on March 29th, 2005. My teacher for the first 3 days was John Carlo Felicella. Now (and then) manager of Culinary Team Canada. He was excellent, even though we only had 3 days of him, he managed to show me a passion and dedication to food that was rivalled only by my highschool chef. (John carlo actually was Garde Mange for my highschool chef when he was working at the fairmont. ) After that Chef Glen O'Flaherty took over our class. He was to this day one of the best chefs I've ever worked under. Everything he said about food just reverberated through me. If I could have stolen his brain and melted it into mine, absorbing all his knowledge, I would have.

The rest of culinary school passed by in a blur. It was the best time cooking I've had so far. I made many connections, made a lot of friends (two of whom I'm living with right now in Maryland) It's too much stuff to cram into one blog entry. I'll probably make numerous references to it in future blogs. At which point I'll explain whats going on. That's enough for now, onto the next chapter!
