Welcome to Culinary Arts and Hospitlity1 and Culinary Arts and Hospitality 2
The next couple of years are going to include dramatic changes in food preparation.
Many restaurants will close because of the unwillingness of people to eat in close proximity
to other people who may transmit Corona virus. Food grown and produced for groceries will go through
new processes to assure more sanitation standards are met. The "to go" and "curbside pick up" market is
likely to increase dramatically and there will be the expectation of better quality. Cooking at home may begin
to appeal to more and new ingredients, recipes, and equipment will be needed.
I expect the need for more trained culinary professionals than ever to fulfill new and exciting careers. Being a restaurant chef
will no longer be the only measure of success. With the growth of the profession, salaries and wages will be increased
to reflect the training and experience of the culinary professional. Solid practices and standards
will be reached as safe and wholesome food finds its way to our tables.
These classes will help develop skills necessary for a professional career in the culinary arts.

I am aware that this year will be different from all others
1st Block 8:30 - 9:30 Live Instruction I also believe that the curriculum for our class will adapt
2nd Block 9:45 - 10:45 Live Instrucion well to the scheduling. Culinary students will be able to
Lunch 10:45 - 11:30 take on some individualized learning and explore areas of
Faculty Office Hours 11:30-12:30 culinary practice that are usually unavailable due to class
3rd Block 12:30-1:30 Live Instruction time restraints. It can be a rewarding experience for all.
4th Block 1:45 - 2:45 Live Instruction
Faculty Office Hours 2:45-3:15 Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions
or concerns. Your child's learning is very important to me
