The aim of every food service business is to produce better quality of food to satisfy its client. In order to achieve the goal it needs some professionals in food production as well as service. Only properly trained and skillfully tactful workers can handle such a profession. Primarily, the basic and correct methods of culinary arts are deemed necessary. It is therefore my objective to train personnel for the kitchen. So that after completion of the training program, I would be able to produce qualified people to meet the requirement involved in the preparation of a high quality dining experience. Recommended however, anybody taking the converse must put enough interest and enthusiasm, exert more effort and develop his imagination in culinary arts so that they can produce and present food with elegance.
