With foodborne illnesses a common concern, the course highlights sanitation practices that meet the Certified Culinarian standards, allowing students to gain confidence in their skills.

A unique focus is placed on the nutritional side of cooking. Students will learn about various nutritional components and how they benefit the body. Understanding these elements is crucial for a Certified Culinarian who wants to create balanced, nutritious meals. Lessons on proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and vitamins guide students on the nutritional value of each ingredient.

In addition to cooking basics, we explore the use of herbs, spices, and flavor enhancers. This area of study sets Certified Culinarian professionals apart, giving them the knowledge to transform dishes with seasoning. We explain how to incorporate these ingredients for the best flavor results. The Practice Exam will cover these elements, ensuring students are confident in using spices and herbs.

Another important section of this course covers cooking bases, emulsifying agents, and sauces. For the Certified Culinarian Practice Exam, students need a solid understanding of these components. Lessons on emulsification, sauce-making, and flavor bases (like mirepoix and roux) help students prepare rich, flavorful dishes. Knowing how to combine ingredients correctly is a core skill for any Certified Culinarian.

Finally, students learn about types of flour and cooking fats. Knowledge of flour types is vital for baking and cooking, while understanding fats helps students make healthier food choices.
