Key Highlights:

Participants were made aware of certain topics by expert. The food and culture of people in different countries differ from one another, and each one has its own distinctiveness. International cuisine is incredibly vibrant and diversified. The expert discussed the most recent kitchen trends, employee grooming expectations, and customer feedback on the dishes. Additionally, he touched upon how formal instruction in a foreign cuisine can occasionally make a huge difference in a chef’s career. Since restaurants are business, they must continue to be profitable in order to remain open. Customers are constantly looking for new experiences to try. They wouldn’t want to eat the same few things each time they visit a restaurant, even if they loved it. International Cuisine provides comprehensive coverage of cuisines found throughout the world not only through recipes and techniques, but also through coverage of the history, culture, geography, religion, and locally grown ingredients that influence these various cuisines. Mr. M. PONNILANGO demonstrated this with a motivated group of second semester students. The students really enjoyed the learning experience.
