How much do I need to know about cooking to go to Le academie?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

You don't need to know anything to attend, all you need is a desire to learn. Your first set of classes will most likely focus on teaching you knife cuts, and you'll be practicing them throughout the entirety of your career. If you really want to cook, I say go for it. If you have any doubts though, you need to think long and hard. The admissions representative should be able to answer all your questions and take you on a tour of the school.

Myself. I haven't been to the school you named, but I am currently attending the Le Cordon Bleu college. I had zero cooking experience before I started, but not anymore.

I would suggest that the first thing you need to know is the name of the school. Le is not the article for The Académie. Second, to which L'Academie de Cuisine are you referring? The Gaithersburg school, or Le Cordon Bleu Academie d'Art Culinaire, Paris? For either you would not need to prove significant culinary knowledge. Go to the website and see the entry requirements. Also, there is a campus in Atlanta but it is not THE Le Cordon Bleu Academie d'Art Culinaire.

I am glad that you are interested in cooking. It is so important to make yummy healthy meals. There are many essentials to cooking. Good recipes, good equipment and kitchen aids. This list will prepare you and help you to become the best cook you can be.

It has recipe books, the best pots, pans and knifes and more! http://www.girlinthemini.com/2011/02/18/a-cooks-essentials/

You don't even need to know how to boil water in order to go to cooking school, but you should have a deep passion about learning how to cook.

A lot of culinary arts schools start off with the basics, you will be fine.
