Established by chef Roberta Dowling in 1974, the CSCA seeks to stimulate the senses as it helps students discover beauty and complexity within the world of food. Students are encouraged to explore all aspects of fine food and its preparation as they learn to produce dishes that demonstrate technical and scientific mastery. The education received at the CSCA provides each student with a lasting legacy of culinary knowledge that reflects common sense and diversity of culinary expression.
The CSCA offers four unique culinary arts programs: the Culinary Certificate Program, a 16-week-long fundamental exploration into basic cooking and baking; the Professional Chef’s Program, a 37-week-long course that teaches the fundamentals of food theory and practice in a classical and modern context; the Certificate Pastry Program, a 16-week-long study of the basics of pastry arts; the Professional Pastry Program, a 37-week-long fundamental exploration of pastry arts, directed by New England’s only French Master Pastry Chef, Delphin Gomes.
All classes are held in a professional kitchen with restaurant-grade equipment. Our talented chef instructors possess years of professional work experience nationally and internationally.
