2. What is Culinary Arts?
Culinary Arts is the art of preparing
and cooking foods. The word
"culinary" is defined as something
related to, or connected with,
cooking.
3. Cooking
Cooking is the transfer of energy from
a heat source to a food. This energy
alters the foods molecular structure,
changing its texture, flavor, aroma and
appearance.
4. Why food is being cooked?
Cooking makes food taste better.
Cooking destroy undesirable organisms and
makes food to ingest and digest
5. 2 types of Cooking Method
A. Dry- Heat Cooking Method
The most popular method of cooking meat
because it develops the meat surface flavor and
requires only a short cooking time with a small
piece of tender meat.
A process of applying heat either directly, by
subjecting to the heat of flame or indirectly by
surrounding the food with heated air or heated
fat.
6. B. Moist-Heat Cooking Method
The moist heat method has water and steam as
its working media for tenderizing meat.
Water and steam are much better conductors of
heat than air and cause the temperature of the
connective tissue to rise to the point where
gelatin formed much more rapidly.

113. Holding the Knife
The way you hold the knife will be determined in
part by the way your knife and your hand fit one
another. The grip you choose will also be
determined according to the task at hand.
Delicate cutting or shaping techniques will call
for greater control, involving fingertips more than
the fist. Coarser chopping and cutting tasks
require a firmer grip and more leverage.
114. Four basic grips used with a
chef’s Knife
Grip the handle with
all four fingers and
hold the thumb
gently but firmly
against the blade’s
spine.
115. Grip the handle with
all four fingers and
hold the thumb
gently but firmly
against the side of
the blade.
116. Grip the handle with
three fingers, rest
the index finger flat
against the blade on
one side, and hold
the thumb on the
opposite side to give
additional stability
and contro.l
117. Grip the handle
overhand, with the
knife held vertically
– this grip is used
with a boning knife
for meat fabrication
tasks
119. One of the classic positions for the guiding
hand is illustrated in figure 1. The fingertips
are tucked under slightly and hold the object,
with the thumb held back from the fingertips.
The knife blade then rests against the
knuckles, preventing the fingers from being
cut.
120. When you peel or trim foods, cut them into
tournées, or flute them, you may find yourself
holding the food in the air, above the cutting
surface. In that case, the guiding hand holds
and turns the food against the blade to make
the work more efficient. Be sure that the food,
your hands, and your knife handle are very
dry.
121. Certain cutting techniques, such as butterflying
meats or slicing a bagel in half, call for the
guiding hand to be placed on top of the food to
keep it from slipping, while the cut is made into
the food parallel or at an angle to the work
surface. Holding your hand flat on the upper
surface of the food with a little pressure makes
these cuts safe to perform.
122. The guiding hand is also used to hold a
carving or kitchen fork when disjointing or
carving cooked meats and poultry in front of
customers. The tines of the fork can be laid
flat on the surface of the food or inserted
directly into the item to hold it in place as it is
carved.
123. PRECISION CUTS
Why food need to be cut into pieces of
uniform shape and size?
1. Evenly cut items look more attractive
2. they cook evenly so your dishes have the
best possible flavor, color, and texture.
3. Unevenly cut items give an impression of
carelessness that can spoil the dish’s look.
124. Trimming and Peeling
1. Trimming tasks- include removing root and
stem ends from fruits, herbs, and vegetables.
2. Peeling tasks- can be done using a rotary
peeler if the skin is not too thick; carrot, potato,
and similar skins are easy to remove with a
peeler. Remember that these peelers work in
both directions.
125. Basic and Advanced Cuts
Chopping
mincing,
shredding (chiffonade),
julienne
bâtonnet,
dice,
paysanne or fermière,
lozenge, r
ondelle, oblique or roll cuts
tourné.
126. CHOP
Coarse chopping is
generally used for
mirepoix or similar
flavoring ingredients
that are to be strained
out of the dish and
discarded.
It is also appropriate
when cutting
vegetables that will be
puréed.
127. MINCE
Mincing is a very
fine cut that is
suitable for many
vegetables and
herbs. When
mincing herbs, rinse
and dry well, and
strip the leaves from
the stems.
128. CHIFFONADE
The chiffonade cut is
done by hand to cut
herbs, leafy greens,
and other ingredients
into very fine shreds.
Chiffonade is distinct
from shredding,
however, in that the
cuts are much finer
and uniform. This cut
is typically used for
delicate leafy
vegetables and herbs.
129. SHRED OR GRATE
Shredded or grated
items can be coarse
or fine, depending
upon the intended
use. Foods can be
shredded with a
chef’s knife, a slicer,
shredding tools and
attachments, a
mandolin or box
grater.
130. JULIENNE & BÂTONNET
Julienne and bâtonnet
are long, rectangular
cuts. Related cuts
are the standard
pommes frites and
pommes pont neuf
cuts (both are names
for French fries) and
the allumette (or
matchstick) cut. The
difference between
these cuts is the final
size.
1/4 x 1/4 x 2 to 2 1/2 inches (6 x 6 x 50
to 60 millimeters )
131. DICE CUTS
Dicing is a cutting
technique that
produces a cube-
shaped product.
Different preparations
require different sizes
of dice - fine (brunoise),
small, medium, and
large dice.
The term brunoise is
derived from the
French verb, brunoir (to
brown), and reflects the
common practice of
sautéing these finely
MEDIUM DICE 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 inch (12
x 12 x 12 millimetres)
SMALL DICE1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 inch (6 x 6
x 6 millimetres)
132. PAYSANNE & FERMIÈRE
CUTS
Cuts produced in the
paysanne (peasant)
and fermière (farmer)
style are generally used
in dishes intended to
have a rustic or home-
style appeal. When
used for traditional
regional specialties,
they may be cut in such
a way that the shape of
the vegetable’s curved
or uneven edges are
still apparent in the
finished cut.
PAYSANNE 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/8 inch (12 x
12 x 4 millimeters)
133. DIAMOND/LOZENGE CUTS
The diamond, or
lozenge, cut is
similar to the
paysanne and is
most often used to
prepare a vegetable
garnish. Instead of
cutting batonnet,
thinly slice the
vegetable, then cut
into strips of the
appropriate width.
LOZENGE Diamond shape, 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/8
inch (12 x 12 x 4 millimeters)
134. RONDELLES Rounds
The basic round
shape can be varied
by cutting the
vegetable on the bias
to produce an
elongated or oval disk
or by slicing it in half
for half- moons. If the
vegetable is scored
with a channel knife,
flower shapes are
produced.
RONDELLE Cut to desired thickness, 1/8 to 1/2
inch (4 to 12 millimeters)
135. DIAGONAL AND BIAS CUTS
This cut is often
used to prepare
vegetables for stir-
fries and other
Asian-style dishes
because it exposes
a greater surface
area and shortens
cooking time.
136. OBLIQUE OR ROLL CUTS
Oblique
It refers to a
vegetable cut, reflects
the fact that the cut
sides are neither
parallel nor
perpendicular. The
effect is achieved by
rolling the vegetables
after each cut. This
cut is used for long,
cylindrical vegetables
such as parsnips,
carrots, and celery.
137. TOURNÉ
Turning vegetables
(tourner in French)
requires a series of
cuts that
simultaneously trim
and shape the
vegetable. The
shape may be similar
to a barrel or a
football. This cut is
one of the most
demanding, time-
consuming, and
exacting cuts.
Approximately 2 inches (50
millimeters) long with seven faces
139. Mise en Place
• French culinary term that means
“everything in its place.” This culinary term
refers to purchasing, preparing, and pre-
measuring all the ingredients necessary for
a dish before you start cooking.
• Mise en place makes the actual process of
cooking more efficient and helps prevent the
cook from making mistakes or discovering
missing ingredients at a crucial moment.
140. Steps:
1) Read the entire recipe. Determine which
ingredients and equipment you will need and
have them nearby.
2) Prepare the workspace.
• Start with a clean kitchen.
• Empty the dishwasher and remove
unnecessary items off the counter tops.
141. 3) Do the work.
• Preheat the oven, prepare pans, etc.
• Chop, dice, grate, and sift; pre-measure
ingredients and put into small bowls.
• Set the bowls on a tray to easily transport
them to the cooking area.
4) Clean as you go. This is the most important
step!
