Welcome to Linda Carucci's Kitchen. I'm thrilled that you found your way to my website.

Since October 2007, I’ve been working as Chef Director at The Art Institute of California-San Francisco planning the launch of the new International Culinary School there. We’ll be offering two programs, an Associate’s degree in Culinary Arts and a Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Management. After those are up and running, we’ll launch an Associate’s degree program in Wine, Spirits and Beverage Management.
It’s all very exciting and I love being back in a college setting working with a terrific group of colleagues. Email me if you’d like to find out more about any of these programs.

In my free time, I’ve been involved in another fun launch. My friends Thy Tran and Andrea Nguyen recently started the Asian Culinary Forum, a nonprofit organization dedicating to the exploration of Asian foodways. They asked me to serve on their board and we’ve been gearing up to present our first annual symposium called "Asian Food Beyond Borders" in San Francisco, October 10-12, 2008. For more information, including how to volunteer, click here.

I’m also pleased to report that my cookbook, Cooking School Secrets for Real World Cooks, has gone into a fourth printing. It’s heartwarming to know that it’s struck such a chord and I sincerely appreciate the continued support of all the students, recipe testers, friends, and family who have spread the word about this book. Thank you!

As time allows, I still teach a few classes for home cooks in the San Francisco Bay Area. Click here to see my schedule. I hope you'll join me in the kitchen sometime soon.
