Prix Fixe Dinners 2011

Culinary Arts program ends their year with a course designed to give the student firsthand experience of operating a catering operation. The student will learn the dynamics of working in a group in order to successfully plan, advertise and execute a series of prix fixe dinners. Emphasis will be placed on menu and recipe writing, product ordering and receiving, operating within a budget including the management of food costs and portion controls, scheduling, and effective dining room service. These dinners account for 50% of the students final grade. Diners will be asked to grade students on several areas of each course served.

Three dinners are planned for 2011. UCC Culinary Art students work hard to plan and prepare dinners as their final project of the year.
