Free Culinary Arts Training Program

Bay Path’s Culinary Art Instructors offer a comprehensive culinary arts curriculum designed in partnership with local industry employers. Participants will learn all aspects of the “back of the house.” The program will cover soups, stocks, and major mother sauces. The seven major cooking methods will be taught, including grill, sauté, poach, pan fry, braise, deep fry and bake. Proper knife skills as well as how to use all types of equipment found in most restaurants will be taught. Students will learn to break down, trim, and portion fish, chicken, and meats. Several dessert and pastry lessons, including proper preparation of doughnuts, pies, and cookies, as well as pasta, bread, and pizza making will be covered.

To complete the remaining course hours, each student will be placed in a local restaurant to execute the skills they learned with the potential for permanent placement upon completion.
