The Culinary Institute of Michigan is a division of Muskegon Community College. It serves as a center for comprehensive education in the culinary arts and baking and pastry arts. The institute provides students with the education and practical skills needed for careers in the food service industry, offering degree and certificate programs.
Beyond its professional programs, the institute also provides opportunities for community members to participate in cooking education. These community classes are designed for individuals and pairs interested in learning new culinary techniques, exploring different cuisines, or simply enjoying a cooking experience in a professional environment.
The community classes cover a variety of popular themes, ranging from specific cuisines like Italian and Japanese to fundamental skills such as knife handling and baking. Many of these classes are structured as hands-on, single-session workshops, allowing participants to engage directly with the cooking process under the guidance of the institute’s experienced instructors.
