Schenectady's first Culinary Boot Camp offers foodies professional training and exquisite dining at one of the nation's top culinary schools at a fraction of the cost of similar courses.

Schenectady, NY, December 7, 2009 -- Schenectady County Community College, one of the nation's top-rated culinary schools, announces Schenectady County's first-ever Culinary Boot Camp January 4 - 6, a three-day and two-night culinary workshop offering food lovers the opportunity to learn classic cooking techniques, taste ingredients, and share a great experience with fellow foodies.

Yes, you read that correctly. One of the nation's top culinary schools: Schenectady County Community College. Not the CIA. Not the French Culinary Institute. Schenectady County Community College.

I weep for the future of cuisine.
