September 4, 2013 -
I just started Fresh Starts Culinary Academy yesterday, along with another friend from San Andreas and I am happy to be a part of the program. There are a total of ten of us in the program. We will get lots of individual attention due to the fact that there are five chefs who will be teaching us. Last night I was given some homework to do and the assignment was to read the entire Food Handler Guide and write an essay answering some questions that Chef Carol gave us. We are currently learning the basics of food safety. Yesterday we received our chef coat and pants. There are a lot of new concepts that I have already learned including temperature control safety, storing food, preventing cross-contamination, food allergens, cleaning and sanitizing, safe food preparation and how to calibrate a thermometer. On Friday, I will be taking the ServSafe California Test in order to get my food handler license. I need this to continue with the culinary program and be able to work in the kitchen.
