If you are a culinary Neanderthal like me, then you may not know that Viking stoves are considered some of the best restaurant quality cooking ranges in the world. But what I find even more interesting than the durability of their products is their Viking culinary centers.
While the Viking culinary school programs do not provide a professional culinary education,Guest Posting they are quickly gaining a reputation as great way for foodies (cooking enthusiasts) and amateur cooks to improve their techniques and see demonstrations by some of the best local and celebrity chefs in the country.
