Adirondack
Culinary Arts
The Adirondacks & the Lake Champlain
Valley of Upstate New York & Vermont have long been known for their truly
unique & varied cuisine ranging from fresh caught native brook trout cooked
over an open campfire to world class dining at five star resorts.
In the internationally acclaimed City of Saratoga Springs, diners can choose from
over fifty exciting restaurants with menus featuring everything from spicy Mexican
foods to hearty homecooked
meals. If romantic candle light dining in a Great Camp setting appeals to you,
the beautiful Saranac Lake and Lake Placid region offers an unparralled experience.
Because of the abundant fish and game found throughout the Adirondacks, visitors
have the opportunity to sample such native culinary delights as smoked
venison,
roast duck, and fresh rainbow trout.
We
invite you to take a virtual tour of some of our most popular travel
destinations including Saratoga
Springs, Ballston Spa, Glens Falls,
Lake George, Ticonderoga, Old
Forge, Blue Mt. Lake, Canton, Watertown, Saranac
Lake, Lake Placid (host of the 1932
& 1980 winter Olympics)
and the City of Plattsburgh.
In neighboring Vermont, experience the beauty of Lake Champlain and the Lake
Champlain Valley featuring the historic communities of Burlington, Shelburne,
Charlotte, Vergennes, Middlebury, St Albans, and the Grand Isles of NW Vermont.

Kitchen
Design
If you are interested
in interior design and looking to specialize in designing beautiful
kitchens that take into consideration style, use and function - an
online kitchen design school may be right for you. Designing a kitchen
is a very personal project and you must work closely with the user
of the proposed kitchen. In many kitchens space is
limited, so multi purpose and multi functional spaces are worked into
a good design. Redesigning
a kitchen doesn't always have to be a major expense. In fact, with
smart designing skills you can redo a kitchen for a fraction of what
is the industry standard. A good online design school can start you
on your way.
The
Culinary Arts program at Paul Smith's College in the Adirondacks was founded on
the principle of learning by doing. Many of todays local chefs learned their trade
at Paul Smith's.

Students in Baking and Pastry Arts are preparing for careers in the
growing hospitality industry, and upon completion can expect to find
positions in hotels, resorts, and restaurants. This
career path develops skills and knowledge necessary for employment in
a variety of baking and pastry establishments.
Examples of these positions include:

Assistant Pastry Chef, and Bakery Manager.
This fast paced industry offers
many opportunities for advancement.
Whether rolling dough, piping
decorations, pulling sugar or preparing and finishing desserts, pastry students
are taught the basics ranging from classical to contemporary preparations. Emphasis
in a baking and pastry arts program is placed on teaching advanced pastry skills
and providing managerial training while covering all aspects of pastry preparations,
presentation and service at international standards. With hands-on experience
emphasized throughout the program, students spend approximately three quarters
of their training time performing practical work in food preparation. The skills
and knowledge acquired in a Pastry Arts program helps graduates to advance their
careers at an accelerated pace.
