This course is very flexible and allows students to explore nutrition and food preparation through a hands on approach. This course provides many opportunities for students to actively prepare different kinds of dishes for themselves and others.

Kitchen skills, safety and sanitation, meal planning, nutrition, careers in the food industry, environmental awareness, management of food resources, culture and food preparation will be developed through grades 9-12 and through foods lab experiences and conversations.
