Culinary Schools: Michigan

If you choose a Michigan culinary school, you'll find yourself surrounded by lakes. At last count there were 11,037 inland lakes in the state, including the Great Lakes. Lake Superior is the largest; at 31,820 square miles, it is the largest freshwater lake in the world. In addition, Michigan's 36,000 miles of rivers and streams make it so you are never more than 6 miles from water. In spite of all this, fish is not the central element in Michigan cooking. Of course, it plays a part, but Michigan enjoys a diverse cuisine. Residents of Scandinavian and German descent have influenced the cooking in the state and your Michigan culinary school classes will probably include such favorites as apple-cabbage salad, applesauce glazed chicken and apple-raisin bread.

When you're not in class, you can enjoy the state's many museums such as the Flint Institute of Art, with its wide-ranging collection, from Renaissance paintings to the most contemporary modern sculptures. The Michigan Maritime Museum gives you a chance to clamber aboard a variety of schooners and steamers and listen for the ghosts of the seamen of times gone by. No reference to culture would be complete without a mention of Michigan's music scene. Detroit is the city that gave the world the Motown sound and that soulful music is still heard in many of Michigan's nightspots.
