You may join the “Supper Club” and gather with other readers and magazine staff for dinner at a local restaurant once each season.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Vanilla From Tahiti Reviews Top 3 Santa Barbara Culinary Schools

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Santa Barbara, CA -  As an importer and distributor of Tahitian vanilla beans, and the world’s best vanilla, Vanilla From Tahiti knows Tahitian vanilla extract is only as good as the end product. It therefore follows that a good vanilla product is one prepared by chefs trained in the best culinary schools.  After careful consideration, Vanilla From Tahiti named the top three culinary schools in the Santa Barbara area Pascale’s Kitchen, Savoir Faire Catering and Michael's Catering in Santa Barbara.

Pascale’s Kitchen : Pascale’s Kitchen is a unique Santa Barbara culinary school that offers delicious lifestyle classes showcasing the fragrant seasonal produce of local farmers’ markets to an enticing line of Mediterranean cookbooks, creative items for your cook’s pantry, olive oils, balsamic vinegars, unique gifts, Mauviel Copper Cookware and more. At the helm of this culinary school is Pascale Beale.

Savoir Faire : Savoir Faire is owned by Chef Karen Warner-Smith. Karen works together with Chef Michele Molony and staff to create sumptuous menus and handle all the details, while the clients are left to enjoy the day. Karen’s childhood love for food, extended travels, attention to detail and culinary study have all contributed to the success of Savoir Faire culinary school.

Michael's Catering in Santa Barbara : At the helm of this culinary school is Chef Michael Hutchings. His career began when he took a job in a restaurant at Disneyland to work his way through college where he was taught by the Master Chef Rudolph and he eventually became executive chef of Club 33 then worked under several Los Angeles chefs of note. At Michael’s Catering in Santa Barbara, they also cater weddings. Each wedding they cater receives Chef Michael’s personal attention in planning, preparation and service and his 40 years experience in providing reliable, quality food and service.  

In the same way that Vanilla From Tahiti appreciates that Tahitian Vanilla is the best in the world, it appreciates that the best culinary schools are those run by professionals who have gained culinary experience both in class and on the job. These culinary schools are committed to providing each chef with a unique and valuable training experience.
