History
CCA, Manila finds its roots with the opening of the Cravings Bakeshop on October 16, 1988. This gave birth to the Cravings Group of Companies.
Thus, the conceptualization of CCA, Manila began and took form. This was materialized by the team of experts led by Dr. John Knapp, project coordinator of the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Canada, and the University of the Philippines-College of Home Economics. It took three years to assess the needs of the industry, formulate an effective curriculum, form a team of chef instructors, and construct the culinary school itself. CCA was established on August 26, 1996, followed by the launch of the country's first formal culinary education program, the Diploma in Culinary Arts and Technology Management (DCAM) in 1997.
