Culinary Nutrition Principles and Applications demonstrates how to combine the science of nutrition with the art of culinary preparation to create nutrient-dense menu items that are full of flavor. The first six chapters explain the importance of shaping eating behaviors and learning basic nutrition science. The next chapter explains how to combine flavor development with nutrition science to plan healthy menus.
The remaining eight chapters apply nutrition principles, flavor development tips, and healthy cooking techniques to prepare menu items from beverages to desserts. The Culinary Nutrition Recipe-Modification Process modifies existing recipes into healthier versions and then modifies those healthy recipes into signature recipes that guests will request again. Complimentary online resources provide learners with opportunities to expand their knowledge and skills.
