Even in you don't plan for a career in the culinary arts, that doesn't mean you can't go to cooking school. It's a great way to learn to cook better for yourself, your family, and your friends, and if you've never cooked before, you'll be a cooking whiz by the time you graduate.
If you can imagine a specific cuisine, there's certainly a cooking school for it -- but be sure you know exactly what you're looking for. A school that teaches Italian cooking, for example, might not offer Tuscany cuisine, and it's doubtful you'll learn the finer arts of Cajun cuisine at a French cooking school.
