Culinary Arts II
Total 600 hrs.
Program Training Plan
Culinary Arts II builds on the skills learned in the Culinary Arts I Program. The main focus of the second year Culinary Arts Program is to teach students advanced cooking techniques in hot food preparation with: sauces, soups, meats, seafood, vegetables, potatoes, grains, sausages, vegetarian, and food presentation; and in baking with: breads, pies, pastries, cookies, cakes, frostings, custards, creams, frozen desserts, etc. Students will be taught a variety of management skills necessary to run a kitchen and business. Actual work experience will be provided as students work in the Mountainland Grill and with Mountainland Catering. Students will also serve in supervisory positions over the monthly Evening of Fine/Fun Dining nights.
• The 1,200 hours of completing both the Culinary Arts I and Culinary Arts II Programs together enables students to apply their MATC certificate towards an Associates of Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Technology at the Utah Valley University (UVU). Please direct any questions to the program instructor for more information.
