Culinary cliff notes.
Alice Yoo/BuzzFeed
Hello world! I'm Jesse from BuzzFeed's food team and I have always loved to cook.
After working in restaurants all throughout high school, I decided to go to culinary school instead of traditional college.
And not just any culinary school, The Culinary Institute of America ― a school known for its long and demanding program.

But I understand that culinary school isn't for everyone, and that's OK because I'm here to share some of the best cooking tips I learned during my four-year program.
And no, I won't be teaching you how to break down a whole duck (although they do teach you that).
