Centennial High School – Culinary Arts II

Culinary Arts II is a 2-hour course that is an extension of Culinary Arts I, and students will continue to follow guidelines and apply skills as they relate to standards set by the foodservice industry. As students explore the culinary history, food service trends, the art of service, hospitality, lodging and tourism industries, menu design, marketing, purchasing, inventory control, basic accounting practices and cuisines of the world. Students will prepare a full range of items on the menu that include potatoes and grains, meat, poultry, seafood, stocks, soups, sauces and advanced desserts. Notably, there will be an ongoing emphasis on health department safety and sanitation guidelines, equipment identification and usage and successful preparation of numerous menu items in the in-school restaurant as well as school-based catered events. A culinary arts portfolio will be required while in Culinary Arts II and the opportunity to apply for a competitive internship will be one important aspect of this program of study. Internships may be paid or unpaid.
