Gap year abroad in the kitchen

I was came to Ireland right after I graduated high school do start my gap year. I chose to do the three month certification course and I couldn't be happier that I did. The school helped find a host family to accommodate me during my stay which was a lovely 15 minute walk from the school. We got to cook new and exciting foods daily, learned how to cook a wide variety of cultural foods such as Indian, Thai, French, Italian, and so much more. The tutors are always extremely helpful and make sure that you come out of the course as a successful cook. My favorite part about the course was that we were exposed to so many different opportunities: working in top restaurants of Dublin for a week, foraging, wine and cheese tasting classes, chocolatrier day, pop-up restaurant nights, and special guest chefs coming in to the school. I would recommend this to everyone and all. Great program both if you are interested in entering the cooking industry or just want to accumulate more knowledge and skills on cooking.
