Why should I study Commercial Cookery?

entering the commercial cookery industry

Have you always dreamed of working in a Michelin star restaurant, creating your own menu, telling your story through food or owning your own restaurant? Then you need to follow that dream and take the first step by studying Commercial Cookery at Academia Institute.

Need convincing?

Lockdown has ended and the world is returning to normal. However, what is normal now?

Over the lockdown period we saw many trends emerge which seemingly everyone across the globe participated in. One of the most popular trends was to experiment in the kitchen and cook new and exciting courses for their loved ones. Who didn’t try to make their own sourdough loaf over lockdown? Or spend multiple hours in the kitchen, making something you love, for someone you love? It seems like we all did. However, for some of us, it was just a phase but for a special few this is how they always feel. Does this sound like you? A passion within you for cooking and creating?

Other trends that emerged included the simple realisation that putting their own happiness over monetary gain was of more value in their lives. The shock of being stuck in a situation as impactful as the coronavirus period made us all have some strong realisations what was important in our future.

So, if you are someone who has always had a passion for cooking or

Someone with a creative flare who takes pride in whatever they put their time, effort and creativity into or

Someone who wants to work in an industry which supports their lifelong dream in the culinary arts or even

Someone who wants to do what they love plus profit from it

Then Commercial Cookery is the industry you want to be in!

Your mind may be full of racing thoughts, both negative and positive such as:

These feelings are invigorating, they warm your heart and make you feel invincible!
