By JULIETTE ROSSANT With the economy in tatters, many people – laid off or not - are considering going into hibernation of a sort, that is, going back to school. But where can you get money to go to school? If you are passionate about Italian cuisine, Super Chef has learned that an anonymous donor has funded a new $10,000 scholarship available to all students who enroll in The Italian Culinary Experience beginning January 5,2009. What is The Italian Culinary Experience? Designed by renowned Tuscan Chef Cesare Casella, Dean of Italian Studies at The International Culinary Center, The Italian Culinary Experience immerses students in Italian cuisine, language and culture at campuses in New York City and Parma, Italy where they train hands-on with top Chef-Instructors in world-class facilities. Following ten weeks of intensive cooking classes in New York City, students move to Italy to learn from some of Italy's talented chefs. Students spend another nine weeks working at a restaurant in Italy for real-life experience before returning to New York for one final week. If this program suits you, then try to attend an free, informational holiday cocktail reception at The Italian Culinary Academy this evening, Thursday, December 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Prospective students quiz Chef Casellas and Chef-Instructors at The Italian Culinary Academy.
