Cleveland High School – Culinary Arts 1-2: Introduction

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Besides learning nutritious recipes you can use for the rest of your life, you will also learn kitchen safety, how to read a recipe, how to measure ingredients, as well as the importance of a clean kitchen. Learn your way around a home kitchen (your family will enjoy your homework), then compare and contrast the requirements for a commercial kitchen. Lectures from food industry professionals and field trips to food carts, restaurants and farms offer students insight into the many aspects of the culinary world. An independent project will require you to apply your new knowledge and skills in a real world setting. Examples might include drafting a plan for your own food business, creating a cookbook, costing out and planning an event menu, writing a food blog, or preparing the menu and cooking for a major event. All students must learn kitchen safety and sanitation practices in order to obtain their Multnomah County Food Handler’s Card. Suggested Donation: $40
