Culinary Institute of America Offers New Elective Course To Liven Up Hospital Food
Students at the Culinary Institute of America are being offered a new elective course that will educate them on how to prepare tasty and nutritious hospital food. This kind of an elective course has not been offered by any other school in the US.
Through the elective course, students at the culinary institute will learn what to serve people with severe dietary restrictions, nuances of tray lines and every aspect related to creating balanced and attractive looking meals of top quality for health-care patients. They will also visit the Vassar Brothers Medical Center and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan on their field trips. These will help them sharpen their culinary skills and break the old Jell-O mould by offering better tasting food in hospitals.
Through this elective course the culinary institute aims to provide a class of dietitians to hospitals, who will be able to liven up patient menus with foods like fresh blood oranges and shrimp scampi.
