Perfect your pastry skills at The French Culinary Institute in the only curriculum in the world written by Jacques Torres.

Dear Pastry Lover,

If you're like me, you enjoy playing with different techniques of creating desserts or baking breads. As The FCI's Dean of Pastry Arts, I combined that sense of adventure with my high standards to develop a very special pastry curriculum to help you be the best - whether you want to start a new career or simply want to feel like a famous pastry chef or baker.

When you study pastry or bread baking at The FCI, you benefit from their unique Total Immersion^SM training, mastering techniques quickly, and working hands-on in small, personalized classes. You learn on the latest equipment, under the guidance of our accomplished Chef-Instructors. I will be giving demos, as will cake master Ron Ben-Israel, along with visiting chefs and culinary trailblazers.

Ready to turn your dreams into a sweet reality? Hit the ground running in The FCI's career courses. Or if your goal is to sweeten your skills and impress your family and friends  (and yourself), dip into the amateur classes.

See for yourself what a special place this is. Take a moment to fill out the form and we'll send you more info.

Looking forward to seeing you,

Jacques Torres
Dean of Pastry Arts
The French Culinary Institute
