Why do I need to learn how to write if my major is Culinary Arts?

Question

must answer by monday sept. 4 (tomorrow)

Answer 1

They are training you in all aspects of Culinary Arts in the hope that you will at least have the potential of one day becoming a member of a management team. Being a Chef is not simply food prep.

Answer 2

Well, you will need to make out the food orders for the butcher, produce guy, florists and vendors. You will need to make up the menus, have the recipes that you design written up. Writing is a necessary part of every ones lives and just because your going in to the culinary arts field doesn't mean you don't need to write.

Answer 3

Core courses round a person out... What if you decide to write a cookbook some day? Sure, anyone can list ingredients and directions, but some of the best cookbooks on my shelf are ones written quite witty by the author.

I understand how you feel though... dealing with polynomials and other advanced math won't have much of a impact on my life, but it never hurts to learn something in school you didn't know much about before.

Answer 4

You need to know how to write no matter what you do in life. As far as Culinary Arts, you may be asked to write recipes or food reviews for magazines or newspapers. You may even be in a top ranking position such as manager or owner at some point where writing is mandatory.

Answer 5

Why do you have to take English Comp for college? It is so the college can make money off you by taking classes you don't really need.

But hey, you might write your own cookbook one day. Writing is a form of communication - just as important as talking. You need to be able to communicate no matter what career you've chosen... So, go thru that hoop so you can get closer to your goal.

Answer 6

Verbal and written communication are important aspects of any job. It is very important to be able to use all forms of written communication in our daily lives.

Suppose you need to write down a recipe, the way you compose the the list of ingredients and the directions are important. You cannot assume that everyone reading your recipe will understand the directions. It is important to be succinct and concise.

Answer 7

If you hope to become a chef of your own kitchen you'll need to write instructions and recipes for your staff to follow.
Like stated before you could become a food critic/restaurant reviews.
You may want to write your own cookbook some day.

Preparing and creating fabulous food should be shared and you'll find it rewarding (mentally and monetarily) to write down your recipes for family, friends and others.

Answer 8

1. The best chefs work in teams, and being able to clearly communicate, both orally and in writing, is essential for good teamwork.

2. If you want your recipes to be praised, you must be able to communicate them clearly to others... in writing.

3. You have to be able to market yourself to get positions in many different kitchens training under many different chefs, so that means being able to write clear, concise resumes and applications.

4. If you want to advance to a senior chef position, you have to be able to manage a kitchen. That means being able to document clear operating plans, schedules, procedures, supplier orders, etc.... in writing.

5. And... the piece de resistance... after you have succeeded at 1-4 above and have become famous... you have to be able to read and negotiate your cookbook deals and your contract with The Food Channel! ;-)

Good luck.

Answer 9

Why does anyone who's not going into a writing-related field have to learn?


Because the Democrats invaded the school systems, that's why...

Answer 10

Because you'll have to write recipes and submit them for approval as well as write menus sometimes. Executive chefs usually handle inventory as well as the ordering of supplies. If they can't read it, you won't get it.
