Monday, July 12, 2004 Question: Is There a Chocolatier School in Texas?
A reader writes asking if there is a chocolatier school in Texas. I don’t know of any program for chocolate only, but there are a number of culinary schools with programs in pastry/baking and dessert and some of these schools offer concentrations in chocolate…. A good resource for cooking schools is cookingschools.com. On the home page, restrict the search to Texas to get a listing and then search on the word “chocolate” using the browser’s page search. Perhaps the best-known school on the list is the Alain & Marie Lenotre Culinary Institute, located in Houston. However, the Culinary Institute of Austin also appears to offer a chocolate concentration – you’ll have to inquire directly to learn more about these programs.
