A New Kind Of Cooking And Hospitality School Opens In February

Jan 24, 2020

The Culinary Collective is a progressive school of cooking and hospitality that reflects the new ways people like to eat, drink and be entertained. With campuses in Auckland and Hamilton, the school is on a mission to help you transform a passion for food and service into a rewarding long-term career.

CEO of The Culinary Collective, Nicole Dommet, says the school’s approach reflects New Zealand’s unique food culture, characterised by a diverse mix of flavours and cultures, world-class produce from paddock, land and sea, and the driving passion Kiwis have to find new ways of doing things.

“We’ve created a learning environment that will allow students to forge their own personalised ethos around food and service, and further expand the global impact of Kiwi-centric hospitality through a successful career,” she says.

You’ll learn a diverse mix of traditional and contemporary skills, in and out of the classroom, spanning classical cooking, baking and service techniques, contemporary hospitality trends such as relaxed fine dining, along with a stronger focus on provenance and sustainability.

All 16 courses offered are named after jobs students will be aspiring to work in. This includes the International Chef, the Visionary Foodie, the Professional Chef, the Restaurant Manager, the Front of House and the Entrepreneur Baker. Whether you’re starting out or looking to upskill, you can study courses from Level 3 to Level 7, including programmes that teach business and marketing skills to help students start their own hospitality or food business.
