CULINARY SKILLS COURSE

Culinary School of the Rockies developed the Culinary Skills course for students who are passionate about food and cooking and committed to becoming truly accomplished cooks.

Culinary Skills is an in-depth, 20-week course with a topical curriculum designed toward a professional level of cooking knowledge and skills. Culinary Skills provides a thorough understanding of:

Students spend one evening a week in our professionally equipped teaching kitchen with a chef instructor exploring a logical sequence of topics including knife skills, sensory awareness, stocks and soups, sauces, vegetables, fish, poultry, meats, wines, and cheeses. The course culminates with a grand finale celebration, for which you and your class prepare a five-course meal for 30 people.
