INTRODUCTION TO CULINARY

 

Our Introduction to Culinary Class offers Bakers (18+) with little to no experience in the kitchen an overview of the basics of culinary in an environment that emphasizes learning new skills while also helping to create a product for one of our Invictus micro-enterprises: grain-free sweet potato dog biscuits. Using an individualized teaching method, the latest Microsoft technology, artful modifications, and physical guide templates, the Bakers are eased through the basics of following a recipe, measuring, heating, safety, and sanitation. We challenge our Bakers to build stamina, learn and practice basic culinary skills, and develop the ability to work together as a team to create a tangible, high-quality product. These classes are led by a team of pastry and culinary professionals but are designed for anyone interested in the culinary arts.  Each 4-hour session is an artful blend of customized instruction, learning, and social gathering for career-oriented, culinary and pastry bakers as well as ambitious newcomers. We take your simmering passion for food and all things culinary and bring it to a rolling boil in our Invictus Bakery!
