The purpose of this course is to link the culinary/technical skills of regional and world cuisines with social and cultural heritage behind them and to provide students with historical and cultural context. This course focuses on understanding the differences and commonalities we have with other cultures around the world. This course provides the student with an explanation of the development of cuisines, as well as a historical background and recipes from the cookery of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and Latin America. The course also requires multiple research opportunities for students to explore cuisine of the world. Students will acquire a greater understanding of their world and the cultural diversity that exists in their own community. This course provides a technical education in the instruction of traditional culinary skills. In a lab environment students will learn and demonstrate culinary skills in use by an ethnic population, based on traditions, techniques, culinary tools, and ingredients used by an indigenous people. There is a $25 lab fee each semester for consumable materials. This course does not have homework unless student is completing work due to an absence or work not completed during class.
