<br />
A '''cooking school'''{{efn|Often referred to as a cookery school, culinary school/college, or catering college.}} is an institution devoted to education in the art and science of cooking and food preparation. There are many different types of cooking schools around the world, some devoted to training professional chefs, others aimed at amateur enthusiasts, with some being a mixture of the two. Amateur cooking schools are often intertwined with [[culinary tourism]] in many countries. Programs can vary from half a day to several years. Some programs lead to an [[academic degree]] or a recognized [[Vocational education|vocational qualification]], while others do not. Many programs include practical experience in the kitchen of a [[restaurant]] attached to the school or a period of work experience in a privately owned restaurant.<br />

==History==<br />
[[File:Marguerite_Martyn_sketch_of_adult_education_cooking_class_in_1913.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Ana Barrows teaches a cooking class for adults in 1913 St. Louis, Missouri, in this sketch by [[Marguerite Martyn]].]]<br />
Culinary education in the United States is a fairly new concept in relation to culinary education in Europe. Charles Ranhoffer, chef of the early [[fine dining]] restaurant [[Delmonico's]], published a national magazine named "Chef" in 1898 which included one of the first calls to establish a training school for cooks in the United States. Until this point, Ranhoffer had been looking to Europe to solve his staffing problems, however, it began to be too expensive and too much work. In 1911, the United States promoted a system similar to the European one, in which apprentices would have to complete a 6,000-hour work commitment in order to become certified as a chef.<br />
<br />
The first significant private cooking school in America was the [[Boston Cooking School]], which was established in 1878,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.fagorprofessional.com/blog/en/history-of-cookery-schools/ | title=Learn the history of Cookery Schools | date=22 November 2016 }}</ref> however, one of the most notable was the creation of [[The Culinary Institute of America]] in 1946. The Culinary Institute of America brought about a new way to better educate culinary professionals, by teaching students the theory behind their future work and also requiring them to complete an 18-week paid [[internship]] at an approved restaurant, requiring them to create at least 51&nbsp;percent of their product from scratch. The school uses mainly hands-on teaching styles, ensuring that students learn through experience.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.ciachef.edu/our-story/ | title=Our Story: CIA History }}</ref><br />

There are also a few, such as [[Ivy Tech Community College]] of Indiana, [[Manchester Community College (Connecticut)|Manchester Community College]] in Connecticut, [[Los Angeles Trade Technical College]] in California, or where students receive upon graduation not only an [[Associate's degree]] but also certification by the [[American Culinary Federation]], the largest professional chefs' organization in [[North America]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.culinaryconnection.com/ |title=Culinary Connection Culinary Arts Academy |publisher=Culinaryconnection.com |access-date=2014-04-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.acfchefs.org/ACF/About/Overview/ACF/About/Overview/ |title=Who We Are |publisher=Acfchefs.org |date=2005-04-19 |access-date=2014-04-13}}</ref><br />
