Course Description:

'' These classes provide the basic fundamentals of cooking. In this term, we cover safety and sanitation, knife skills, basic cooking methods, kitchen math, stocks and soups.

Skilled knife handling is a necessity for any cook and is an absolute prerequisite in the job market. We¡¯ll have you working on speed and safety early on, and will give you hours to perfect these skills throughout your four terms. We teach culinary math because, as a restaurant professional, you will need to know how much yield to expect from a food purchase, the cost per serving, how to price an item on a menu, and how to turn a profit.

We¡¯ll show you how to make stocks, a versatile standby in any kitchen and one that makes the most of your food supplies. We cover the basics of moist and dry heat cooking methods; the differences between cooking proteins, starches and vegetables; and how to make sauces ¡ª a subject that baffles and intimidates many amateur cooks.
