Our Focus

Technique

Elevate your next dish's flavor and nutritional value by analyzing ingredients and applying the latest professional techniques through our detailed and carefully assembled culinary program. During your time here, you will learn the science of cooking, heat transfer methods, knife skills, kitchen equipment identification and operation, along with a host of classical and modern cooking techniques. You will be equipped to step into any kitchen in the world with the confidence of possessing the proper fundamentals and techniques to succeed.

FARM TO FORK

Learn the intricacies of each ingredient and experience the process of turning a humble crop into a sophisticated dish at the Redler Institute of Culinary Arts. We support local, natural sources of food because we believe in the nutritional integrity of using fresh ingredients. You become the artist as you use your hands to form the dough and understand the value of presentation and taste. Wheat to bread, cow to steak, corn to soup. Become familiar with the ins and outs of every ingredient you use.
