Course Description
The Basic Cuisine programme opens the door to the adventures of French cuisine. From Day One, you begin to master the basic skills, from how to hold a knife properly, to how to peel vegetables or truss a chicken. As the term progresses, techniques are layered on one another, and become more complex. Demonstrations become more menu-oriented, incorporating such elements as organisation, preparation, balance and timing. As a solid grounding in basic cuisine, this programme is for beginners and experienced students alike. Beginners develop the techniques they need for later semesters and experienced students fortify the knowledge and skills they already have. Introduction to French Cuisine includes French culinary terms and definitions, Professional knife handling and introduction to diverse cuts, Food preparation and presentation skills, Classic French techniques, Learning and building upon the foundation, stocks, sauces, forcemeats and doughs, Variations on cooking methods, Matching method to product and Development of personal creativity and discipline.
