History of Culinary Arts
Culinary arts is one of the fastest growing educational sectors in America today. The increasing numbers of youth and adults interested in taking these courses is shockingly high. In order to truly understand how far the culinary arts field has progressed, we must take a look back in history to see exactly how this phenomenon evolved and to take a look at the key people who have brought this field of study to the degree of popularity it has obtained today.
1896- Fannie Merritt Farmer graduated from The Boston Cooking School and wrote one of the first influential cookbooks called "The Boston Cooking School Cookbook". This cookbook taught individuals the importance of accurate measuring when cooking.
1946- James Beard began teaching cooking through television. Later, he opened a cooking school and taught professionals and non-professionals how to cook for over 30-years.
1946- The Culinary Institute of America was founded. The CIA became the first cooking school in our country which focused directly on cooking and the techniques related to culinary arts.
1963- Julia Child made her mark on the map when she taught the world how to cook French Cuisine. At this time she also created a lot of publicity and media attention and made the world realize the importance of being a good Chef.
