Spring Term 2010

So this term I'm taking Latin Cuisine and American Cuisine.  I'm very much looking forward to them.  Keep reading and you'll see how they go...... Wish me luck.

CL117 - Latin Cuisine (Tuesday Night)

This course emphasizes both the influences and ingredients that create the unique character of selected Latin cuisines. Students prepare, taste, serve, and evaluate traditional, regional dishes of Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean Islands. Importance is placed on ingredients, flavor profiles, preparations, and techniques representative of these cuisines.

CL128 - American Cuisine (Wednesday and Thrusday Nights)

The course reinforces the knowledge and skill learned in the preceding classes and helps students build confidence in the techniques of basic cookery. The development of knife skills is accented. Students explore the use of indigenous ingredients in the preparation of traditional and contemporary American specialties. The concepts of mise en place, timelines, plate presentation, and teamwork in a production setting are introduced and accentuated. Timing and organization skills are emphasized.
