Culinary Quick Bites: Culinary Quick Bites is a short-format (15-Minute) training series intended to be facilitated on-site by school nutrition professionals overseeing food production. Each lesson focuses on a specific culinary-related training topic and includes the lesson objective, a facilitation guide, an instructional video demonstrating the skill or task (with an ICN chef as the subject matter expert in the video), and an activity to help staff practice their culinary skills.
Menus of Flavor: The CICN recently released three new hands-on culinary trainings called Menus of Flavor. The Menus of Flavor training series is intended to teach foundational culinary skills to school nutrition professionals with a focus on flavor profiles of global cuisines. The three regions covered include Mediterranean Cuisine, Latin Flavors, and East and Southeast Asian Fusion. Recipe Standardization Guide: The USDA Recipe Standardization Guide for School Nutrition Programs is a “how-to” guide on recipe standardization for school nutrition recipe developers. The guide is designed to be a complete source of information on recipe standardization from conception to implementation of a recipe.
Grab & Go Recipes: The CICN launched a series of twenty Grab & Go recipe cards featuring portable and appealing menu items that are simple to prepare and utilize a variety of USDA Foods. Each recipe card features standardized recipes in 50 and 100 serving quantities as well as visual step-by-step instructions for production of the recipe.
