Culinary Program

Alchemy of the Hearth is an intimate, focused culinary school that follows the European tradition of apprenticeship under the wings of an experienced chef. Our classes are small, hands-on and geared towards preparing future chefs one at a time. You won't get lost in our classes and your training will be intense, fun and exhilarating.

There are several levels to our program. First, all students must begin with our foundation courses: Cooking 101, Cooking 102, and Mastering Technique . Upon completion of these courses, students will enter into the professional culinary program geared towards perfecting skill and technique.

Each section of 10 classes costs $1500.00 and the total cost for the professional program is $4500.00 (total cost does not include the costs of Cooking 101, 102 and Mastering Technique, uniform and textbook which must be purchased separately).
