Cooking Fundamentals
If you think cooking is just about following a recipe, think again! Students will revise and go beyond the basic cooking skills to unlock their inner chef. Students will explore how to bring their culinary visions to life by using their senses and thinking creatively. They will learn how to plate creations in a way that wows friends and family exploring a variety of international cuisine and recognising local food produce. This course offers the opportunity to gain credit towards a Culinary Arts 10 course.
