The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago - was founded in May of 1983 by Linda Calafiore, a passionate cook who wanted to share her love of great food.

To date, the Chicago Cooking School has graduated thousands of professional cooks, bakers, and aspiring chefs who are now staffing some of the most prestigious restaurants in Chicago and the nation.
