Detroit = big city. Yeah. I would think so. Try looking in the YELLOW PAGES under "COOKING SCHOOLS".

Most of the community colleges offer a number of different types of cooking classes. Try either the Wayne County Community College, Oakland Community College, or Schoolcraft College. It all depends on where you live. I live in the western suburbs (Livonia) and I know for a fact that Schoolcraft has numerous cooking classes. Bon Appetite

I would try some adult education classes or college courses. Also, I would definitely try to find a "ServSafe" class somewhere. Here are some options: The MSU Extension Office/Washtenaw County is offering a ServSafe class: http://www.ewashtenaw.org/government/departments/environmental_health/food_safety/eh_servsafe.html Washtenaw Community College has culinary arts classes that can be applied toward a degree or certificate. You may even be able to dual enroll and get both high school and college credit while still in high school: http://www4.wccnet.edu/academicinfo/creditofferings/programs/degree.php?code=CFCULC Monroe County Community College has some non-credit, "life-long learning" classes: http://www.monroeccc.edu/ccs/LLSchedule/WISP-2010/personalinterest.pdf Again, I would check out classes through your local Adult and Community Education Department, MSU Extension Office, local community college, etc. Good luck!

Obviously, you know that Schoolcraft is THE place to go in the area for Culinary School, right? But, I believe that you're looking for someplace to go that is not actually a college level class - that is, you want to go to one at a restaurant BEFORE you actually go to culinary school, correct? If that is the case, the Free Press often lists short classes in their Living section - I know that Jeremy Restaurant in Keego Harbor has had some classes - Also Kitchen Glamour (it's a kitchen appliance store) always advertises classes. Other restaurants that I've seen advertise are that place in Milford that used to be Five Lakes Grill (I think it's Mexican now, so maybe they don't have the classes anymore). Also Bonnie's Kitchen on Telegraph has classes - I think it's near Maple now - Used to be closer to 12 Mile - mostly pastries, I thought. There's also a place I've noticed in Northville - Scottie's Kitchen. Also, I read about an Indian woman who does cooking classes out of her house - you might Google that on the Freep site. Another thought - there's a place on the east side - Clinton Twp or Utica - J. Baldwins or Baldwins - that I've heard of too.
