About the Center for Culinary Education at Chattahoochee Technical College
Founded in 1961, Chattahoochee Tech is a fully accredited, state-supported, postsecondary technical college. It offers nationally accredited career programs in the culinary arts. Classes utilize the latest technology to deliver education through distance learning, Web-based instruction, and educational television. The school offers international study opportunities such as studies in Italy in the kitchens of Mami Camilla in Sorrento and Scuola diCucina in Sienna. Students attend classes while webcasting their lessons back to classmates in the United States.
In 2003 Chattahoochee Tech's culinary arts program was accredited by the American Culinary Federation "without any recommendations," making it only the second culinary program in the nation to receive such distinction.
CTC’s first Fulbright Scholar, Carlo Baggi from Milan, Italy, began work at Mountain View Campus in late August 2007. Carlo teaches culinary students about the history of food while focusing on the consumption and promotion of high quality food products. Carlo's interest is in promoting slow food. The Slow Food Movement, he explains, began in Italy, but has spread throughout the world. The goal of those involved is to teach consumers the value in eating locally grown, locally prepared foods. Preserving the local food culture, explains Carlo, helps us maintain food variety and focus on sharing food in family and social settings.
The college is also home to the American Culinary Federation Apprentice Program, which offers students college credit for the training they receive during their apprenticeship.
