Culinary Arts
Program Overview
Students will gain hands-on experience in a variety of methods for preparing creative dishes. Students in Culinary Arts learn the basics of culinary terminology and appropriate food preparation techniques, which lay the foundation for advanced skills. In addition to perfecting a fine cuisine or pastry, students receive the unique opportunity to manage and operate an on-site restaurant called The Heritage Room, as well as organize and cater different events, both on the Eastland Career Center campus and on location.
What else do I need to know?

The Heritage Room and the Bakeology Bakery are open during select time throughout the year, and is open to staff and the public. For dining hours, menus, special events, and additional information click the button or visit www.EastlandFairfield.com/HeritageRoom
