Course Description:

'' The Culinary Arts Program at NCC prepares students for every aspect of the food preparation, presentation, or hospitality industry. The emphasis is on developing a working familiarity with our kitchen, food preparation, and with cooking utensils and processes. Our teachers are professional chefs who can show students how it is done in the industry. They also know how to cook food that tastes delicious.

And if you live alone and like to eat well, are raising a family and want to serve the best, or are thinking about waiting table or working for a restaurant or caterer on weekends, this department has an elective course that can broaden your horizons and increase your skills.

NCC has a full kitchen that can serve 16 students at a time. It is equipped with Vulcan heavy duty gas ranges, an assortment of stainless steel sauce pans, sauté pans, mixing bowls, broilers, fryers, roast pans, cookie sheets, and their accompanying cooking utensils. The lab has Kitchen-Aid stand-mixers, two two-door and two four-door Beverage Air reach-in refrigerators, one four-door and one one-door full length freezer.

Four faculty members guide students through the paces of preparing and cooking different types of cuisine, teach them about proper presentation, and pass on techniques gleaned from years of real-world experience. Students get hands-on experience doing prep work, stock and sauce preparation, ingredient stocking, pan and utensil selection, and menu creation. They learn about nutrition, basic and advanced food preparation, sanitation, safety and maintenance, and organization and showmanship. Students actually prepare meals for a variety of college-sponsored luncheons, dinners and banquets. The Culinary Arts Department has working relationships with area hotels, motels, restaurants and country clubs where students apply the skills they have acquired in the Culinary Arts Lab.
