Food Fundamentals

With our Food FUNdamentals program, you can learn about the different jobs in the food industry. We will outline the qualifications and/requirements for various jobs in the industry.  You can learn what it takes to get and do the job you want .

We will also be having a section on nutrition, meal planning, and basic cooking.  We will also emphasize food and kitchen safety.

The program consists of a 4 week course, 5 days a week form 8:30 to 11:30.  There is classroom time with guest speakers and cooking demonstrations.  We also planned a variety of fascinating field trips to some of Tucson's top restaurants to food processing plants, and grocery stores.

There will be a lot of great cooking and everybody can take the delicious results home.
