“Cooking is a holistic process of planning, preparing, dining and sharing food. I place food at the center of our humanity, as it nourishes not only our physical bodies but also our emotional and spiritual lives. Food is truly a cultural phenomenon that informs our traditions and our relationship with the earth. I genuinely believe that food connects us all” Eric Ripert
OVERVIEW
Students have the opportunity to demonstrate love for others through the sharing of food and fellowship around shared food and experiences. Students develop skills in the preparation and service of a wide range of foods suitable for hospitality, as they follow the directive in scripture to offer hospitality. The subject is highly practical with theory components relating to food service and hospitality. Theory topics include function planning and sensory perception of food. During practical work, the emphasis is on developing a very high standard of organisational skill, food handling and presentation. Students plan, prepare and cater for a staff function.
