MULTICULTURAL CUISINE GRADES 9 – 12
Food has always been the center around which people have come together to share stories, enjoy each other’s company and celebrate wonderful occasions. In this course, we will explore other regions of the world and how they combine food, culture and tradition. Many familiar everyday dishes in America originated in Europe but have been completely absorbed into our local cuisine! You will learn about culinary history; people’s social customs, ingenuity, values, and religious beliefs. We will travel through Europe, the Mediterranean basin, Asia through to the Americas. You will be researching your country of origin along with preparing foods from around the world. Countries to explore and investigate will include but not be limited to: U.S.A., Canada, Latin America, Africa & Middle East, Europe, Asia and the Pacific. After taking this course you will understand the influences on culinary practices from ancient times through to the present. Prerequisite: Intro to Culinary Arts Credit: 0.5
