Even top chefs once had to learn the basics of cookery. UGA's Culinary Skills Camp brings you the must-know skills that will take you from nervous novice to confident cook. You will learn the basics of cooking and baking inside a professional kitchen setting. Get ready as you will practice essential knife skills, master the fundamentals of kitchen safety, learn kitchen etiquette, better understand nutrition, and enhance your abilities through various food preparation techniques. By the end of the week, our students are bound to have a well-seasoned experience and the confidence to stir up a recipe or two at home for family and friends.
*All students will be required to taste products made unless there are food allergy or intolerance concerns.
