CUL 200 The Home Cook: From Eating to Dining

This online course is designed to assist students who are interested in learning or improving their basic skills in home cooking. Students will develop and experiment with several cooking techniques. These skills will be used to develop their confidence and creativity in experimenting with new tastes and flavors in cooking. In addition, students will be sharing their learning experiences with one another in an online community. Students will read and research weekly resource materials and be required to complete weekly cooking assignments in addition to participating in class sharing and discussion. While the course does not have a lab fee or textbook, ordinary foodstuffs and kitchen supplies/equipment will be needed and some purchase of food will be required to complete the assignments. However, since students will be able to eat what they cook, it will be well invested. All ingredients will be easily available from a local supermarket. A digital camera or cell phone camera will be required for submitting the assignments.
