The French Culinary Institute in NYC
The French Culinary Institute was founded in New York City in 1984 by Dorothy Cann Hamilton. It quickly became one of America's foremost cooking schools, due to its combination of classic French techniques and American inventiveness. Today, it is recognized as one of the world's most prestigious culinary schools due in part to the distinguished faculty at the school.
Faculty members include culinary luminaries such as master chefs Alain Sailhac, Jacques Pépin, André Soltner, Jacques Torres, Alice Waters, and master sommelier Andrea Robinson. They also have a series of visiting lecturers to compliment the teachings of their core faculty. The FCI provides students with rigorous, hands-on, training that allows for an easy transition into the workforce.
There are three core programs available at the FCI: The Culinary Arts Program, The Classic Pastry Arts Program, and their Art of International Bread Making Program.

The program is broken into four levels, with each progressively more intense than the last. By the fourth level you will have direct responsibility for the menu at "L'Ecole", a restaurant highly rated by the Zagat Survey and the Wine Spectator.
