Park City Culinary Institute

What a great experience today! Work retreat that was different and a nice change of pace. Great staff! Very kind and the prep was wonderful. Food was superb! Such a fun time! Would highly recommend! Reinvigorated my enjoyment of cooking and trying new things in the kitchen.

The macaron class with Cat was so fun and easy to follow despite its technical difficulty. I felt challenged but accomplished at the end without feeling lost! Best cooking class I’ve taken in the valley!

What a great time making desserts with Kat and crew. Definitely recommend the experience.

I took the tiramisu and gelato class with Chef Britney. It was great and we learned so much in the hour of the class, with yummy desserts to take home. Definitely look forward to taking more classes!

We had fun making pizza with Chef Carla! The event space was neat, Carla was a great host, and making dinner was fun.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Thai cooking class and will definitely be back. The chefs were really knowledgeable and had fun personalities. Of course, having our dishes washed for us after we made a huge mess was extra special. 😜

We took a wonderful class with Carla and Brenna! They were both darling and so helpful! They answered all of our questions and taught us so many new things! Definitely recommend for a really fun date night!

We went on a double date with friends to the Tacos and Tequila cooking class. It was SO fun, we learned a lot, the chefs were all friendly and helpful, AND the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

Took the Thai cooking class with my husband. Teacher was great, food was explained well and it was easy to make with the instructions given. Can't wait to try it at home.

Out of all the culinary schools I researched when I was looking to improve my skills in the kitchen, I am so grateful that I picked the Park city Culinary Institute. Their program is very hands on and personal. I learned so much while attending their program. It is perfect for whether you want to pursue a career in the food industry, or just become a better chef at home for your friends and family! The teachers are amazing to learn from and work with so I highly recommend their program!

Park City Culinary Institute and Chef David are fabulous!!!!!!

I had the time of my life! I never dreamed I'd be able to attend culinary school while living in Utah until I heard about PCCI. At the time they were only located in Park City, Utah which was too far for me to drive on a daily basis. I followed them on social media and the minute they opened a new location in Salt Lake City, I signed up. I took the eight week course that ended in the pastry curriculum. I loved the way Chef Rebecca Millican taught her classes. It appealed to me the most because of the organization of how the classes were laid out and the hands on experience of making doughs, custards, pastry and confections. Although the pastry portion was my favorite, the skills I learned in the rest of the course are what I use the most in my business.I graduated a little over a year ago and immediately started my own catering company. I also have the opportunity to teach and assist at many events. I LOVE MY NEW CAREER! I set my own schedule and work when I want to.When our time was up I didn't want to leave. Our class became fast friends and we had a blast. I have attended chef dinners, recreational and advanced skills classes at PCCI since then and I return whenever I can.I recommend PCCI to anyone who wants to learn more about the culinary world and build some life long skills in cooking. The 8 week program is flexible and affordable for the education you receive from the best chefs around!

I attended PCCI earlier this year. In my opinion, the Culinary Course is grossly overpriced.THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH BURNERS FOR EACH STUDENT TO HAVE THEIR OWN SPACE. Previously we could use induction burners, but halfway through my class they said we were no longer allowed to use them and had to share the gas range. Other students would adjust my burners, move my pots and pans, or remove my food altogether. The fight for space alone is not worth the money.85% of the recipes in the course book contained errors (not just typos, but ingredients being omitted or quantities being listed incorrectly.) On several occasions there were not enough ingredients for all students. The quality of the ingredients was poor (limp celery, old onions, rotten scallions.)The instructors did not seem confident or properly qualified. I attended the PM class and my instructors did not teach us how to plate any of our food. They did not double check the oven temperature, resulting in food burning or being undercooked.

I attended the million dollar gingerbread house class. It was THE WORST class I have ever experienced. I don’t think any of the four ‘chefs’ working had ever made a gingerbread house. There was basically instructions. The royal icing provided was not mixed to the right consistency to be useful for decorating and they gave us buttercream frosting for instruction! I could go on and on, what a complete waste of my time and money.
