Culinary Arts Aug/Sept Article
In August, Culinary Arts students were introduced to the food service industry. They have been learning about safety and sanitation, culinary basics, and knife skills. They also had their first lab activities in which students prepared banana bread and sugar cookies. In September, students will continue learning about sanitation to prepare for the industry-recognized Certified Professional Food Manager (CPFM) exam. If students pass the exam with 70% or more, they receive the CPFM certification and are eligible for dual credit through Highland. Students will also continue practicing knife skills in September through lab activities such as salsa preparation.
