CULA210 — Nutritional Cooking
This course introduces students to the basic elements of nutrition, discusses nutritional menu planning, development of healthy recipes, and describes marketing nutrition in the hospitality industry. As consumer demands for healthful eating continue to increase, professionals in food service must have a thorough knowledge of nutrition to best meet and exceed those needs. The characteristics, functions and food sources of the major nutrients and the procedures used to maximize nutrient retention in preparation and storage of foods will be examined. Students will apply the principles of nutrient needs throughout the life cycle to menu planning and food production. (Summer Semester) Course Learning
