Description


Serving up excellence.

As an international melting pot of language, culture and foods, Canada is one of the most exciting places in the world to explore cuisines. Diverse ethnic, traditional and fusion foods offer stimulating experiences to thrill the palate. 

Growing trends are advancing modern cuisine, authentic and exotic pub hubs, nutritional aspects of food, and the local sourcing of ingredients. The world of specialized and locally prepared food is exploding in popularity. 

What an exciting time to be in culinary management! Our own province is riding the peak of this movement, as renowned food critics and chefs come to taste for themselves the unique fare our restaurants have to offer. The success of these restaurants and this industry have firmly placed Newfoundland and Labrador on the map for high value-added culinary production. 

CNA culinary graduates have fed this growing industry with high-quality and accredited professionals for decades. Now, we’re complementing the main course with business related skills to navigate challenges encountered in the culinary world. Professionalism, human resources management, and business management are some examples of skillsets developed to improve success in the kitchen. Because success depends on team work, efficient cost controls, and creativity to maximize the use of food culinary experts are now expected to utilize a broader range of skills.  

With new and innovative food preparation techniques, cooks are incorporating food science in their kitchens and experimenting with modernist cuisine. With us, you will be exposed to new technologies in cooking equipment that includes automated computerized ovens, blast chillers, immersion circulators, thermal mixers and smart kitchens. This program addresses the increased emphasis on using local and fresh foods and explores trends such as farm-to-fork, international cuisine, sustainable sourcing, artisanal baking, charcuterie and preserving products through traditional processes.

You’ll gain an understanding of local sourcing, including how food is produced, and the challenges associated with obtaining food while promoting conservation and sustainability. This program includes training in food and beverage pairing, advanced baking, sugar work, butchering, catering and event planning, among other vital components of this field. You will also gain knowledge in health-focused areas such as dietary requirements, allergies and intolerances, and effectively demonstrate creative ways to mitigate the impact of these constraints on production.

Creativity, a keen sense of taste and smell, interest in precision work and a good memory for details are key attributes for this career. You will be required to remember and apply cooking methods and adapt them in accordance with available supplies and dietary restrictions. You must be able to work independently and as part of a team, have good organizational skills and have the ability to multi-task to work effectively. Other important abilities include solid mathematical, communication and customer service skills. You need to be versatile enough to assist with any task that needs doing within the kitchen. 

We have seasoned, award-winning instructors who will mentor you in all you need to know about culinary composition and flavor compatibility and building the perfect dishes from scratch.
If you have an appetite for this exciting career, we’re taking orders now!
