Is it alright if I went back to college and to cook?


I was just wondering because I don't eat meat, and i want to go back to cook since i love cooking. If I actually go back and be a cook, should i say anything to the teacher so he/she knows that i don't meat?

All advice is welcome.

The fact that you don't eat meat, will that personal decision on your part prevent you from cooking meat? If so you should look into a cooking school that will teach as you believe. Check with a local vegetarian restaurant and find out where or if there are any schools in your area. You might want to check with a local vegetarian restaurant and find out if they are hiring--or a full service grocer like Whole Foods.
Good Luck.

If you're committed to being a vegetarian, then you want to take courses in vegetarian cooking. In culinary school you have to taste everything you cook, and general programs will include meat.

The following is a list of vegetarian cooking schools:

Natural Kitchen Cooking School
Princeton, NJ

Natural Gourmet Institute
New York, NY
Email: admissions@naturalgourmetschool.com

The Cordon Vert School
Parkdale Near Manchester, England

The Natural Epicurean Academy of
Culinary Arts
Austin, TX

Living Light Culinary Arts Institute
Fort Bragg, CA

Unless you don't mind preparing meat (even though you don't eat it), I would look for a school that specialized in vegetarian cooking. I would not be surprised if the top programs (like the CIA) already have a degree program in vegetarian cooking. Cooking is less than half of the classwork anyway. Classes on sanitation, management, staffing, finance...etc are part of the program and are not diet specific

well i think you should do vegetarian cookery
As a training chef, you have to be prepared to taste all foods. how are you goin to decide if something is seasoned right or if the flavours go together if you cant taste it.

You do what feels right to you. If you want to go back to college and cook, you should do it then. I'm in college right now trying to become a game designer.

You would have to go to a special school for vegetarian cooking. They aren't going to fine tune the class for you at a regular school.

Good luck though. I love cooking too!

is that your 100% satisfaction career? If so I won't argue, but there are other career or opportunity out there, not just college but I do have very high respect for education.

Well.......
For me personally if I didn't eat meat I would still go back to college and yes I would probably tell the teacher that you dont eat meat!

A vegetarian cooking meat is like sending a hippie to war. No one wins.
