Students can earn credit for these and other activities by enrolling in an Independent Studies course, provided they fulfill the course requirements (see the above course links for full details). - Earn credit for things you are already doing and enjoy - Access to a mentor while working independently to complete education hours Why This Class Is your student a budding masterchef? Do they follow food celebrities and spend hours experimenting with new creations in the kitchen? Or, do you simply want them to know their way around the kitchen? Either way, you want to help them maximize their cooking skills and support their aspirations. This course helps by guiding your student through the fundamentals of working and making a difference in the food industry. Students in this self-paced course explore the history of the modern culinary world, learn the basic rules of nutrition and kitchen safety, and even look into the major laws and regulations governing food service. Through hands-on projects, they level-up their cooking experience and hone the skills required to start working in a commercial kitchen. The course wraps up with an overview of what’s involved in opening, managing and marketing a restaurant. By completing this course, students gain insights and skills that support them in pursuing job opportunities in the food industry. They learn to prepare healthy and enjoyable meals for others and increase their awareness of the role food plays in society. ![Featured Image](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/culinary-arts.jpeg) [![REGISTER NOW](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e) **Course Details** Recommended Grade: 9th (Freshman) – 12th (Senior) Prerequisites: None Estimated Weekly Hours: 5 Format: Self-paced Credits: 0.5 ### Reading List ![Group 166](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Group%20166.svg) Provided by mentor ### Overarching Questions ![Group 108](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Group%20108.svg) What is the history and development of the food industry?
