Program Description
Do you want to learn what it takes to be a great chef in today's job market? You have come to the right place!
Hennepin Tech's Culinary Arts program gives you the skills to saute, decorate cakes, carve chocolate, design menus, prepare banquets, and cater large events. You'll gain a solid foundation of cooking and technique.
What's more, students train to be a part of a gourmet restaurant by experiencing all stations within the food service industry such as "front of the house" in Hennepin Tech's on-campus gourmet dining room.
Students will also experience the theoretical side of the business, learning exactly what it takes to run a restaurant business and succeed. Top off your education with a bit of ice carving, pulled and blown sugar, fundamentals of wine, and international cuisine. Bon appetit!
