Being part of the food provider sector

Christian May B. Utulo

THE objective of the Cookery Manual for Senior High School students is to understand key concepts and demonstrate core competencies prescribed in the TESDA training regulation in Cookery; and to acquire skills and knowledge necessary to become a certified chef.

The manual includes information and activities to develop desirable values, skills and understanding through authentic tasks on how to clean, maintain and sanitize kitchen tools and equipment.

It also contains step-by-step procedures and helpful techniques and guidelines on how to prepare, present and store appetizers, salads and salad dressings, sandwiches and desserts.

Thus, it aims to provide quality service to target clients alongside assessing oneself as to the aspects of business that one may consider to strengthen and become part of the food provider sector.

The world of work today presents a picture of available jobs that are getting scarcer each year. To address this reality, the Department of Education is stretching its available resources, prioritizing needs, and developing sustainable programs to lead and to prepare the young minds as future skillful chef or any related job.

DepEd endeavors to equip the learners with the appropriate knowledge, attitudes, values and skills necessary to become productive citizen of our society.

This learner’s material is specifically crafted to focus on the different activities that will assess one’s level in terms of skills and knowledge necessary to get a Certificate of Competency and/or National Certification. This learner’s material will surely make one a certified food provider.
