Earlier this week, COOK announced the launch of its COOK Masters Program, an intensive series that will provide intensive training to deserving culinary students and amateur chefs looking to launch a real-deal culinary career. We caught up with program mastermind Audrey Claire Taichman, who’s always a great interview, to get some more info on this new-to-Philly concept.

COOK’s day-to-day mission is celebrating Philly’s “masters of food and drink.” So what was the motivation for establishing the COOK Masters Program, tailored to the industry’s next generation?
It was very simple — we just wanted to give back. There are so many people out there who want to make food a career, but sometimes they simply can’t afford culinary school or have any number of other barriers. We wanted to build a program that gave an opportunity to those who really wanted it, not just those who could afford it. There is a wealth of talented chefs in this town and it’s important that they help foster the next generation of chefs.
