Saskatchewan's Cowboy Country Features World-Class Chef Schoolsby Sonja Albrecht Saskatchewan, the ‘Land of Living Skies,’ is an agricultural prairie province in central Canada. Students who pursue a culinary degree in Saskatchewan will be pleased to discover a bounty of farm-fresh produce at their fingertips. Saskatchewan is Canada’s ‘bread basket,’ providing wheat, barley, flax, rye, and oats. Saskatchewan’s rural tranquility belies the cosmopolitan sophistication of its chef school programs. Inside the classroom, you’ll perfect contemporary European and North American cooking techniques, and enjoy state-of-the-art facilities. Outside the classroom, however, you’ll experience the wholesome values and quiet pace of life that embody Saskatchewan. Even Saskatchewan’s urban centers feel expansive, clean, and safe. Saskatoon, the region’s main metropolis, boasts a thriving arts and entertainment scene. Chef school students can take a break from their culinary degree to explore the Mendel Art Gallery, hang out at a cafe or pub, or take in a show at the Saskatoon Centennial Auditorium. Summertime brings festivals galore: Shakespeare, Saskatoon Jazz, the International Fringe Festival, and FolkFest. Saskatchewan chef schools also offer easy access to the region’s stunning natural wonders: its 100,000 lakes and rivers and twelve million acres of national and provincial parkland. Canoeing, fishing, birding, camping, and horseback riding are popular pastimes. A stay on a vacation farm could enhance your culinary degree education—many visitors even participate in the farm work. It’s a unique opportunity to get in touch with the food you cook. A culinary degree at a Saskatchewan chef school offers a unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of haute cuisine in a down-to-earth rural environment. Sources“Saskatchewan,” Wikipedia
