WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

“Since I learned the functional part of food, now I design my meals with that in mind. I’ve learned a lot of techniques here, new techniques. The professors teach the whole spectrum of ways to cook food, [how to] cook food in order to process the nutrients, consider the aroma, obtain some kind of texture and a wise combination of ingredients.”
