HTE 3773 - Cultural Foods Lab

1(0 + 2)

Prerequisite: HTE 1603, NUT 2040

In this course students gain practical experience in the preparation and service of foods from major cultural and religious groups and underrepresented populations and their dietary needs. Laboratory work includes the understanding of food choices, vocabulary, behaviors and nutritional status of cultural and religious groups. Students bridge traditional cultural barriers by expanding their understanding of the foods and practices in various cultures and how these choices for food related to the nutritional aspects of recipe and menu development. Practical experience in nutritional analysis of recipes and menus assists students in their ability to provide successful intervention counseling to at-risk groups.
