CTS Foods courses offer students the opportunity to develop daily life skills and career or temporary employability skills. Individual courses are comprised of both practical application and theoretical learning.

Introductory courses are designed to introduce the concepts of food safety and sanitation, nutrition, and food preparation and presentation, emphasizing the relevance of Canada’s Food Guide to personal wellness. Meals, desserts, and snacks will be prepared using meat and poultry, milk and egg products, fruits and vegetables, and grain products.

Intermediate and advanced courses allow students the opportunity to expand upon introductory course concepts and to gain expertise and advanced techniques of cake and pastry baking and decorating, soup and sauce making, yeast bread baking, meat and fish cookery, food presentation, and international foods cookery.

The judges were treated to five entrees...

...which made for an interesting competition!

Congratulations to Kenzie Hopkins-Hau, with her lovely ginger beef on apple and water chestnut hash, whose cuisine reigned supreme!

Thank You to D'Arcy's Meat Market

Kyle Iseke, owner of D'Arcy's Meat Market & Casual Catering, graciously donated his time to demonstrate how to take apart a whole pork loin. Our Foods 10 class found the session fun and informative and appreciated Kyle's expertise and skills in the art of meat cutting. We look forward to having Kyle back in the second semester!
