CASA Culinary Schools in Florida

CASA in Florida is a one-on-one culinary apprenticeship: you train inside a working restaurant kitchen with a professional chef as your mentor, instead of in a classroom. CASA lists Miami and Orlando as its Florida externship locations; an advisor can tell you whether a chef mentor is taking mentees near you.

If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a chef, the Chef Apprentice Studio of the Arts in Florida is the perfect place to start. Our accelerated programs will give you a solid foundation in the culinary arts that can be applied in kitchens anywhere. Whether it’s traditional old-world standards, modern fusion, or somewhere in the middle, you’ll learn the standard building blocks of cuisine eaten around the globe.

Our immersive environment means that instead of learning in a classroom kitchen with a group of students, you’ll receive one-on-one instruction from a professional chef with years of experience. You’ll be able to prep the kitchen, prepare the food and present the meal to the dining public with confidence and skill. Best of all, our individualized approach means that you won’t feel overwhelmed or rushed through each lesson, allowing you to grow as a chef at your own pace.

Plus, we know everyone’s schedule is different, so we offer flexible scheduling options that allow you to create a customized learning experience that best suits your needs. Whether you’re looking to start a new career or just want to hone your cooking skills, the Chef Apprentice Studio of the Arts is ready to help you get started!

Cody Woodside

After years working as a key member of an internal producing team for Scripps Network where he worked on content for HGTV and Travel Channel, Cody Woodside found himself merged out of a job when Scripps was acquired by The Discovery Channel. Rather than seek something else in production, Cody saw the forced hiatus as an opportunity to delve into the culinary arts in the CASA Gourmet Chef program.
