Class Overview:
Culinary means “of or relating to a kitchen or to cookery” while art is described as "human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature." Put these two words together and you start to see that the culinary arts really involve creating something unique and beautiful – and something that is completely edible! It is called culinary arts for a reason, not just anyone can create delicious and inventive masterpieces. This major covers the basics of chopping correctly, methods of preparation, techniques in presentation as well as the nutrition, and chemistry involved in cooking. Further, careers in Culinary Arts will be explored. Try out your skills on family as well as the DECATS community. This major is lots of work, but also lots of satisfaction.
