Think about the last time you went out to eat. Chances are you opted for something out of the ordinary, something a little more exotic. That’s not surprising considering that many diners are looking for international culinary experiences. Centennial College’s International Culinary Management program option brings a global perspective to traditional culinary management by teaching students culinary techniques, sanitation practices and management strategies.

The offering takes two years to complete and during the time students are in the program, they are based at Progress Campus. This location is home to cutting edge culinary and baking labs, which enhance learning by allowing for hands-on application of theory. Additionally, as students through exposure to the unique relationship between cuisine culture, and religion become comfortable with managing diversity in the workplace, they have the opportunity to complete a field placement.

Here is a closer look at some of the courses that put students on the pathway that allows them to achieve success by addressing the need for cooks and chefs with a diversified portfolio of international cuisines (as identified by Ontario Job Futures).

Cuisine and Culture (Theory): Students learn how food shapes societies and cultural practices by covering the actual preparation, consumption, and food customs from different parts of the world. As a hands-on component, students complete a research project on a specific cuisine and culture.

Principles of Food, Beverage & Labour Cost Controls: The role of the restaurant or food and beverage outlet manager is to manage operations, the expectations of customers and the employees. This course teaches students management practices such as: predetermining food, beverage and labour costs; application of the control process to the primary phases of restaurant operations (purchasing, receiving, storing, issuing and production); and menu analysis and engineering. It also explores the factors affecting labour cost, performance standards, monitoring performance and taking corrective action.

Restaurant Practicum: Kitchen/Dining Room: Students apply skills they have learned in an operating kitchen and restaurant. To ensure they are gaining an all-around experience, students rotate to different sections of the kitchen, which also allows for understanding of the brigade system.

Sustainable Food System Practices: With society increasingly becoming aware of green practices, students learn everything from composting, recycling and energy-conservation programs to sourcing locally grown, organic ingredients.

Cuisines of Europe/Mediterranean and Middle Eastern/South Asia/ the Americas/ South-East Asia: These five courses are offered throughout the program and teach students about the actual preparation, consumption, and customs of food from each area of the world. In a lab setting, they are also introduced to methods of cooking applications, tools, utensils, common ingredients, seasonings, flavour builders and combinations.

After completing each Culinary Management course, students will have developed specialty well suited to the cruise ship industry and the all-inclusive resorts, both of which offer many types of diverse cuisines as part of the dining experience.

Whether your daughter is enamored with cooking or couldn’t care less, cooking games are a fun way to introduce your child to just how entertaining cooking can be. It works wonderfully on both levels: if your child already likes to cook, she will be delighted to enjoy a cute game that allows her to enjoy the same pleasure during her free time as she does practicing in the kitchen. If your child doesn’t like to cook, perhaps this game will encourage her to look at cooking in a new light as she follows recipes and create culinary masterpieces. Here are a few ways cooking games can make creating meals fun!

One advantage that cooking games provide is that it allows your child to experience all the fun of cooking with none of the mess. By displaying actions such as breaking eggs, whisking, measuring, stirring, or baking, they will be able to learn the satisfaction of creating something or the fun that comes with experimentation. Many games provide fun activities, including everything from decorating cakes to running restaurants. Best of all, there is no tedious cleanup afterward; everything is accomplished with a simple click of the mouse.

Best of all, these games encourage culinary creativity. Rather than sticking to boring recipes, children are able to create their own masterpieces without fear of failure. This can mean anything from combining different combination of fruit for smoothies or pies, or simply choosing unique meal plans that appeal to them. Having a point system as a reward definitely helps. Keep in mind, however, that not all cooking games allow for maximum creativity. You’ll have to look for specific games that allow this.

These are only a few ways that cooking games can make working in the kitchen appeal to children. Don’t forget these games aren’t just for girls! Boys can benefit equally from learning that cooking can be fun. The next time your children sigh at the idea of being taught to cook, don’t scold them. Instead, let them acquire fundamental skills such as recipe following, reading comprehension, timing, and other skills through a fun game such as these.

Recently, she has also set up a new website for online free games like dress up games, cooking games, coloring games, food games, and other boy and girl games. She also offer typing games on her site for those who like to improve their typing speed and skills and many other interesting games like tower defense games, maze games, mystery games, and tycoon games.
