The Science of Flavor - 3-Hour CPE Course

This asynchronous online course with video lectures takes a two-pronged approach to taste and the cooking experience: the science of flavor and how the world of flavor works. As a chef, dietary manager, health professional, or nutrition educator, it's essential to understand the science of taste. Why do some people taste things differently from others? And what flavors do we taste? How do you mix them? Once you've addressed those concepts, it's time to tackle terroir to understand better why flavors are mixed and used worldwide. With a combination of narrated videos and educational text, this course is perfect for anyone who works with food, flavor, menus, and nutrition. Instructors: Chef Robert N. Corey, MBA, AOS, CEC, EWS, Judy Doherty, PC II, AOS, BS

Plant-Based Cooking: Vegetables - 10-Hour CPE Course

A plant-based eating pattern is part of the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. MyPlate recommends that half your plate is filled with fruits and vegetables while one-quarter is filled with grains. This asynchronous online course with video lectures is designed to help practitioners learn how to help individuals learn the health benefits of plant foods and how to buy and prepare them so they enjoy them. It is also great for foods that want a different approach to vegetable cooking. Chef Instructor: Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII
