Jerusalem Culinary Institute Shows the World that Kosher is Hip

Yochanan Lambiase, a London-born chef of Italian descent, offers hands-on kitchen training and culinary business education with a kosher twist at his Jerusalem Culinary Institute.
"The JCI is the world's only fully kosher lamehadrin cooking school that offers a full-year program in the culinary arts, pastry, wine making and wine tasting," Lambiase told the Jerusalem Post in a recent article.
The 10-month program is based on the French style of culinary arts, and offers basic instruction in kitchen skills as well as experience in a variety of cuisines, including Asian and Mexican. With kosher food gaining popularity around the world for a number of reasons, including the perception of increased food safety that the kosher label imparts, Lambiase looks forward to increasingly international groups of students entering his program, Jewish and non-Jewish alike. The incoming class includes aspiring chefs from the U.S., Australia, South America and Russia.
Historically, kosher food has suffered from the perception that it offers a limited culinary range, but Lambiase hopes to change that, and attract new generations to the idea that kosher cooking doesn't have to be boring.
