"Basic cooking skills are a virtue.
The ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every
young man and woman as a fundamental skill”
Anthony Bourdain
"You can't teach anyone how to cook, all you can do is show them.
It's up to them whether they want to teach themsleves. Cooking is not a recipe, it's a philosophy"

"I've been a cook all my life, but I am still learning to be a good chef.
I'm always learning new techniques and improving beyond my own knowledge because there is always something
new to learn and new horizons to discover."

About Us
BCCASA was founded in 2000, you can view its Constitution here. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact any of our executive members
BCCASA became its own provincial specialist association on October 20, 2000. Since then, the association has hosted various culinary events, student competitions, scholarship opportunities, and has provided constant support to its members in secondary schools throughout British Columbia.
Aside from running more than 70 commercial culinary classes throughout the province, teaching kitchens directly instruct thousands of students on how to safely and efficiently prepare, cook, serve, and store food in a commercial setting. These culinary arts students will serve thousands of meals a day to the school’s students and staff.
Our dedicated members are constantly faced with challenges that come with budget restrictions and healthy school guidelines, but one objective is always at the fore—strive to purchase and promote the use of local agriculture in our schools and provide students with the opportunity to purchase healthy foods at near-cost prices.
