Simmering dreams

Cooking is a necessity, something everybody needs to know more or less in order to live. For some it's more than that; it's an art, a hobby, a passion. It ranges from casual cooking or lazy afternoon baking, to putting one's own twist on an old recipe or just going off the charts and experimenting. Some have this passion so fierce it drives them to create a career out of 
this art. 

For culinary enthusiasts out there who are looking to get professional restaurant-style training or just keen on learning a few tips and tricks for their own dishes, there is a new place around the corner and it is a one of a kind culinary institute in the country: Tony Khan Culinary Institute and Hotel Management.

Tony Khan himself is the president, and his motto is “Tell me, I forget. Teach me, may I remember. Involve me, and I learn.”  To do so, every class in his institute will be completely practical to get students involved in each and every step. If you love to cook, you know that to learn firsthand from Tony Khan and to be his fellow worker is nothing short of a golden opportunity.

The complete course itself will be taken by other experienced teachers from hotels such as The Westin. Khan himself will also be taking a few of the classes. The course offers a huge variety of cuisines along with many packages to choose from. There are packages extending from one-month-long amateur courses to two-year-long diploma courses. There is also a postgraduate diploma course for the somewhat experienced which also comes in various packages. Courses here also involve teaching basic hotel skills, language, computer, cleaning, hygiene and hospitality. 

The institute is situated at the far end of Road 27, Dhanmondi, 5th floor of Zebun Paradise, Dhaka 1209. Further information about courses, cuisines and classes can be found at their official webpage: tonykhan-institute.com, or you can email for any queries at info@tonykhan-institute.com

So anyone willing to work in hotel management, the culinary industry or just wanting to give a stir to their cooking dreams, this is the place for you.
