CKCA to Offer All-Men's Evening Professional Program in Culinary Arts

Professional Training Program in Culinary Arts
Men's Class
Jan 29 - June 18
Sun, Mon: 6:30 - 10:30 pm

For the first time ever, the Center for Kosher Culinary Arts is offering a non-mixed gender class in professional culinary arts. The first session will be for men only. It will take place Sunday and Monday evenings, starting January 29th through June 18th, 2012.

Our professional training program in culinary arts is 152 hours of hands-on training in professional level culinary skills & techniques. We also offer the students the opportunity to take an additional 8-hour prep course in food safety & sanitation, free of additional charge.

The goals of the program are to:

*Orient the student to the professional kosher culinary environment and teach the student to operate within that environment in a safe, efficient, & skillful manner

*Hone the student’s understanding and practice of fundamental culinary technique

*Develop in the student an understanding of flavor and taste and an appreciation for quality ingredients

*Facilitate the student’s transition in to the working world by providing both career counseling and an opportunity for networking.

Congrats to CKCA Grad Dalia Avezbadalov!

CKCA graduate Dalia Avezbadalov and her mom, Elana Mammon, were featured in a wonderful article in Tablet Magazine about Bukharian food and the large population of Central Asian Jews who live in Queens. Read the full article here.

Enjoy the wonderful recipe they contributed for Perashki Kartoshkagiy, meat and potato turnovers here. The dough recipe can be turned into sufganiyot if you replace the potato mixture with jam before frying.
