Introduction

Welcome to Foods 11

You need to do the first three units first and in the following order:

1) Foundation for the Course

2) Kitchen Safety and Sanitation

3) Equipment, Measuring, and Budgeting 

Once you have completed these units and completed your first lab, you are welcome to do the rest of the course in any order you would like. For example, you may not want to bake five times in a row, so feel free to mix up the order of the labs. Remember to finish the lesson and demo before you do an assignment, lab, or quiz. At the end of the course there will be a final exam that will include all theory covered in the course. If you have any questions, contact your teacher.

Happy Cooking!
