Description
If you are looking to give your student a comprehensive foundation in home economics or family consumer sciences, this course is worth your consideration! Students learn detailed information on numerous topics including kitchen and food safety, kitchen appliance use and maintenance, microwave cooking techniques, measuring, and cooking terms. Additional topics include cutlery, adjusting the yield of recipes, common measures and equivalencies, nutrition and key nutrients including how to read and use a food label. The students will be familiarized with the USDA “My Pyramid,” weight management and the topic of sports nutrition. Meal planning, budgeting, and shopping are discussed. More detailed techniques like heating milk successfully, egg safety and different methods of preparation, baking with grains and yeast, food preservation, canning, and jelly making are included. I particularly like the table setting, napkin folding, etiquette and successful entertaining chapters, which would make a helpful long-term reference. There are helpful charts, plenty of tips and techniques, as well as hands-on activities sprinkled through the book. Each chapter ends with section review questions. The answers to the review questions are found in the corresponding lessons of Culinary Life Skills Teacher Edition. ~Judy
Publisher's Description of Culinary Life Skills
Culinary Life Skills is a one-semester course that presents a practical introduction to cooking—including topics such as nutrition, budgeting, entertaining, and etiquette—which culminates with a dinner party that combines everything learned during the course. Some special features in the text offer valuable help: “Something to Try!” sections encourage additional practice in the kitchen, “Tips & Techniques” sections are quick references for proper procedures, “Food for Thought” sections provide historical background or additional information about concepts in the text, and periodic section reviews reinforce learning. The lab manual, also a necessary part of this course, includes 13 lab worksheets and evaluations along with information for projects and additional recipes to use throughout the course. This course is a great mixture of learning and applying everything you need to know about entertaining with confidence and extending hospitality to others.
Category Description for Abeka Culinary Life Skills
If you are looking for a one semester elective for your high school student or want to make sure your student has a good foundation in home economics, this is a very practical course. While it is written for grades 11 and 12, it could easily be used to teach 9th or 10th grade students.
The Culinary Life Skills text and Culinary Life Skills Lab Manual are the key components necessary for student learning. The Culinary Life Skills Quizzes and Tests can be used to evaluate how well the student is retaining the “what” and “why” of the text material. The quizzes and tests are intended to comprise most of the student grade, with the projects assigned from the Culinary Life Skills Teacher Guide and the evaluation sheets from the Culinary Life Skills Lab Manual comprising the rest of the grade. The Family Consumer Sciences Quizzes and Tests Answer Key contains the answers for grading the quizzes and tests. The Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher Edition has wrapped around teacher info with reduced student pages. ~Judy
