The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago

The mission of The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago is to prepare students to fulfill their career aspirations and to meet the needs of the food-service industry through quality culinary, pastry arts, hospitality and general education curriculums of higher education.

We are passionate about our students! We are passionate about food! Evidence of our devotion is in our growth and in the enthusiasm employers have for our graduates.

The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago was founded in May of 1983 by Linda Calafiore, a passionate cook who wanted to share her love of great food. The food service community responded with enthusiasm. As soon as the first students graduated, many were employed at major hotels and restaurants. To date, our Chicago Culinary Arts school has graduated thousands of professional cooks, bakers, and aspiring chefs who are now staffing some of the most prestigious restaurants in Chicago and the nation.

In June 2000, The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago was invited to become affiliated with Le Cordon Bleu of Paris, one of the world's best known culinary education programs. Le Cordon Bleu continues to monitor and train the faculty to ensure that the curriculum is being delivered, and the spirit of Le Cordon Bleu is being communicated.
