Indiana is located in the Midwest and has a lot of farmers - which means abundant local produce and grains available for its chefs! County fairs, culinary tours, and a variety of restaurants will give the culinary arts student a well-rounded palate. German, Mennonite and Amish cooking is common in Indiana. Some regional dishes include clover tea, potato salad, biscuits, pawpaws (similar to custard apples), and apple butter.
Culinary arts and tourism programs are offered at universities, colleges, and tech schools throughout the state. Job openings for chefs are expected to rise by about 1% over the next ten years. Chefs and head cooks made an average salary of $29,780 in 2004.
