Bridge the gap between home and professional cooking and gain confidence to make better decisions in the kitchen with this case-study based CPE program!

The required reading for this course focuses on the concept that all aspects of food and the preparation of food are a pleasurable experience that are essential to all human life. Creating memorable, tasty meals is only achieved with the use of all the senses and each part of the cooking experience, from sourcing the ingredients to serving the food should be treasured.

“Recipes are like rituals, enduring because they are passed down to us – whether by ancestors, neighbors, friends, strangers on the internet, or me to you. A written recipe is just a shimmering decoy for the true inheritance: the thread of connection that cooking it will unspool.” The author of the required reading shares tips, techniques and lessons from recipes and traditions that have been passed down to her by friends, family, and strangers alike. Taking the simplest, everyday ingredients and creating an aesthetically pleasing masterpiece is the goal of any recipe. The author helps to bridge the gap between home and professional cooking and helps provide confidence to make better decisions in the kitchen while creating a joyful, fulfilling experience.

The case-study based CPE program will help the reader understand the importance of using proper ingredients and appropriate food preparation techniques to provide the most palatable experience for an individual. Various cultural foods and traditions are also discussed.

This course is appropriate for registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) and nutrition and dietetic technicians, registered (NDTRs), certified dietary managers (CDMs), professional chefs, and educators in various settings.
