What Is Culinary Arts?

The study begins by explaining how much the residents of Gourmand love good food. They love food so much that that over time, a commission of distinguished chefs had decided that not any one should be capable of opening up a restaurant. If a restaurant was to be open, a chef would have to have 21 years of training, attend a prestigious school, and obtain a license to become a chef. These guidelines would ensure that when a resident would go to a restaurant, the food would be good. The first-class quality of food consequently rose the prices of restaurant meals to become very expensive.

Food is one thing that has been around for many years, because people need it in order to survive. Over time it has caused a big change in the way Americans eat contributing to many other factors such as time and money. For instance, my mother has been trying to lose weight for many years, and she has tried many diets seen on television and diets friends have told her about. All the programs she has tried have not worked out for her, well trying these diets she has lost time and money. The amount of money to join

Dailey and Ellin quote Levine by saying, “‘The idea is to fight obesity and not obese people’”(579). By learning to cook nutritional meals, students will have the tools neccessary to fight the disease that is plaguing their country. To show that households have lost their way of food preparation, Pollan recalls a conversation with Harry Baltzer: “‘Not going to happen,’ he told me. ‘Why? Because we’re basically cheap and lazy. And besides, the skills are already lost. Who is going to the next generation to cook? I don’t see it’”(584). Schools are designed to supply students with the knowledge to thrive. Therefore, they should include information on culinary arts because it will help reestablish the ideals once thought to be traditional. Likewise, Beebe and Thompson state, “By changing our children’s environment so they have access to healthy foods and physical activity, we improve the opportunity for all members of a community to improve their health”(1). Their statement reinforces the idea that students who learn healthy recipes in school are more likely to lead a healthy

The food production has existed since long ago. There are numerous legacies that describe the time of human development since hunters grouped in which food preparation is very simple. When people no longer bunt for food they cultivate land and raise cattle. Archaeologist found that culinary happened in a traditional way of cooking and preparing food since old age, and then they change the way of preparing food at the time.

How we cook food has been one of the biggest changes. Prior to the 1950s, cooking was not about being creative or enjoying cooking, although some did; was a necessity required to live. For many people, there has been a shift in cooking; if a person does not wish to cook they do not have to. Cooking has become a more enjoyable task, it is not necessarily a requirement of survival. Unless a person was a

I am still not even sure how many years of education are required to specialize in culinary arts, also in comparison to the professional chefs I am still a beginner, yet some may even consider me inexperienced. Some reasons I want to get a degree in culinary arts is because I am creative I like food and I think cooking is fun. Also, because I do a decent job at it and some of the smells are wonderful. Creativity is a good skill to have in culinary, It is a good skill to have because, you want to put your own twist on things and make things your own by adding a pinch of this or a pinch of that.

Some of the ideas consist of Italian and German food. I have plans on attending college for culinary arts. I have been invited to the culinary arts institute in New York, and I plan on visiting their college. If I do not like this college I will be attending vocational technology here in Lawton, Oklahoma. I plan on using this experience to better myself in my goals to open a restaurant.

One person who has inspired my career choice of culinary arts who is famous is Ina Garten. Although there are many other great chefs to look up to, Ina Garten has inspired me the most. Culinary arts provide many career opportunities in the food service industry. Many believe attending culinary school is required to succeed in being a chef since extensive training and discipline is required. My grandmother has always expressed upon me “to each his own”, in which my girl Ina Garten has not attended any culinary school yet is one of the most successful chefs in the culinary industry. There are television networks dedicated to preparing and cooking food. My goal is to become an Executive chef which is the highest position in the

Because of passion with cooking and dream to be a chef, I have read a lot of cookbooks, regional culinary books and books about famous chefs, some of them are interesting but none of them was attracted to me the most. Normally, I just found some my favorite recipes in such books. However, “Letters to a young chef”, a book contains a collection of letters which Chef Daniel Boulud wrote to Alex Lee whom worked alongside Daniel for ten years as a passionate young cook, truly brings me desire to make my dream come true as much as help me to broaden my knowledge about culinary arts.

The book is highly informative and educational, and as Michael Ruhlman wrote I could feel his learned passion for the craving to become a cook. He did the greater part of the course, both preparing to be a gourmet expert and expounding on it as a writer. Ruhlman learned the fundamentals of cooking stocks, roux, vegetables, and sauces; also, he gained the experience of working the front of the house by waiting tables. Most importantly, he gained the knowledge of the meaning of being a chef to become a leader within the industry. You were expected to know the answers to all the questions in the Culinary Institute of American (CIA), and know why things happen the way they do. As chef Pardus would add, “you better know how to do it” (35).

Culinary art is a momentous part of my life.When I was around the age of nine I was living with both my mom and dad. I was always in the kitchen helping my mom cook dinner. I made baked ziti, empanadas, sweet potato pie, and other foods.When I was in high school, I lived with my father,and after my older siblings grew up it was just me and my little sister so I was responsible for cooking the meals. I was cooking for my family an average of seven days a week and I was never tired or bored, I enjoyed it. I developed a strong passion for culinary arts. I am passionate about it because it excites me, inspires me, and encourages me to open a restaurant.

Through these programs I have been able to work with the chefs and I love how they are more than willing to go above and beyond to make sure that we are able to widely succeed in the culinary industry, they are also very honest with you and tell you all of the good and the bad about the industry. Through my high school Culinary teacher, Brandi Eades who attended Jefferson State Community College's Culinary program- and loved it!- I was able to learn about and participate in all of the wonderful programs that they have to offer for high school students. I was also able to compete in the Prostart competition on a small team consisting of me and another student where we placed sixth for the state, and all throughout the day chefs that I have worked with wished me good luck and asked me how did we do and they continuously go above and beyond to help with whatever I

As a foodie, eating foods is my favorite thing and I also find my speciality in eating, that is tasting food and know the condiment in every dishes. When I was a child, I usually go to kitchen to see adults cooking. My intention is not to learn how to cook, but to know where the dishes that I felt very delicious from out of curiosity. As time passed, I knew the recipe of every dishes that I like gradually and learned how to improve it taste. I born at a country that have many delicious foods and the cuisine like to use many kinds of condiments. Through the process of knowing the recipe of cuisine, I also learned many condiments and their use.

I’ve always had a passion for cooking. When I was a little girl I loved to cook and enjoyed learning about all sort of cuisines. Today, I am still in the kitchen and every chance I get, I cook. Some days it isn’t even fancy or a hard recipe. Some days it’s a classic, but something that I’ve created. Cooking is my time to be me. It’s the “art form” I pride myself at being good at and I don’t have to try (unlike drawing…not so good at that!). Like a child getting a new toy, I get excited when I discover new foods and ingredients. My mind feels “at home” when it’s in the process of creating in the kitchen. It’s fun getting the ingredients, piling them all on the counter, then chopping, stirring, adding a pinch of this and a splash of that. Then I have to wait for everything to cook. Finally the reward of my creativity is taken out of the oven and placed on a plate. The creative work I’ve done is fully realized when I can share my work with others.
