Baja California Culinary Art School

When I was at school- wow we lived in prefabricated buildings, but now the newest cooking schools are cool.

It is true that The Culinary Art School in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico is for serious chefs with high aspirations – but even so it reminds potential restaurateurs on the importance of design in their businesses and in their foodie creations.

The entire school complex carries an air of strict order, almost an ascetic solemnity. If you didn’t notice the stoves or wine racks, you could mistake this for a place of religious study.

And, passionate chefs certainly express a fervour for food, ingredients and cooking that could be likened to religious zeal. It is easy to imagine how the colours, textures and aromas of various ingredients stand out in this kind of environment. It is like a stage for culinary creation or like a frame for gastronomic artwork.
