Les Cheneaux Culinary School

Simplicity is the essence in good taste - in the world around you, and in food. Where can there be a more idyllic place to experience this than when immersed in the natural beauty of the Les Cheneaux Islands of northern Lake Huron, sheltering Michigan's pristine Eastern Upper Peninsula? Located in the quaint, 170-year-old village of Hessel, and overlooking its charming marina, the Les Cheneaux Culinary School will be housed in the Hessel Bay Inn, which is presently being renovated to architecturally reflect the iconic boat houses that dot the channels weaving throughout the 36 wooded islands. Opening in September, 2014, as a boutique culinary school in a state-of-the-art facility, 12 to 14 students with a passion for cooking will complete an in depth, one-year program with an open-lesson plan devoted to hands-on experience in learning all aspects of a professional kitchen as they occur in a real environment.
