Turnitin Submission (if necessary) For specific types of assessment tasks like essays,
write-ups or literature review, students’ outputs are
required to be submitted through Turnitin with a
maximum similarity index of 30% allowed. This
means that if your paper goes beyond 30%, the
students will either opt to redo her/his paper or
explain in writing addressed to the course
coordinator the reasons for the similarity. In
addition, if the paper has reached more than 30%
similarity index, the student may be called for a
disciplinary action in accordance with the
University’s OPM on Intellectual and Academic
Honesty.
Penalties for Late The score for an assessment item submitted after
Assignments/Assessments the designated time on the due date, without an
approved extension of time, will be reduced by 5%
of the possible maximum score for that assessment
item for each day or part day that the assessment
item is late.

Students with Special Needs Students with special needs shall communicate with
the course coordinator about the nature of his or
her special needs. Depending on the nature of the
need, the course coordinator with the approval of
the program coordinator may provide alternative
assessment tasks or extension of the deadline of
submission of assessment tasks. However, the
alternative assessment tasks should still be in the
service of achieving the desired course learning
outcomes.
CC’s Voice Hello future chef! Welcome to this course, HRM 312: Culinary Arts and
Sciences. I see that you are eager to get into the hospitality and tourism
industry and become a Professional. Now, before you immerse yourself in the
field, you need to get equipped, and we begin by gaining more knowledge
about Culinary Science.
Let us begin!
Big Picture
Week 1-3: Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO): At the end of the unit, you are expected to:
Big Picture in Focus: ULOb. To evaluate the tools and equipment needed in the kitchen.
Metalanguage
In this section, there are essential key terms that you need to learn, which will help you achieve ULOb,
that will consequently lead to completing the second CO. These terms will be encountered as we go
through learning the International Cuisine.
5. Tools – It is a device or implement that is usually held by hand to carry out a function.

Essential Knowledge
Knife Skills
Learning knife skills for gourmet cooking is very important because knives are the most important
items in the kitchen tool kit. A chef can accomplish a number of tasks quickly and efficiently with a
good, sharp knife. High quality knives are expensive but last for many years with proper care.
Whetstone or sharpening stone is used to sharpen the dull blade of a knife. To use, place the heel of
the blade against the whetstone at a 20-degree angle. Press down on the blade while pushing it away
from you in one long arc, as if to slice off a thin piece of stone. Repeat the procedure on both sides
until the dull blade sharpens.
Do not wash knives in dishwashers because they can be damaged. Always wash and dry your knives
by hand after use.

• The Tip. The forward quarter of the blade does much work on cutting and separation. The
tip including the point is best used for cutting small and/or delicate foods.
• The Blade. The best chef’s knives are made of high-carbon stainless steel, which is very hard
metal that keeps its edge for a long time and will not discolor or rust like ordinary carbon
steel.
• The Handle. It is where the chefs grip together with the tang.
• The Heel. It is located at the rear of the blade where it meets the handle. This section is used
for chopping hard items like carrots, nuts or even chicken bones.
• The Tang. The section of steel inside the handle is called tang, and if it goes all the way to the
end of the handle, it is called a “full tang”.
• The Rivets. Rivets are the raised, cylindrical studs that keep the handle securely attached to
the tang portion of the knife.
• The Bolster. The bolster is the thick shoulder of heavy steel located at the front of the handle
where it meets the spine or the top (non-cutting) edge of the blade. It balances the knife and
helps keep your fingers from slipping while you work, thus preventing hand fatigue and
blisters.
Here we see the same grip from the opposite side. Note how the index finger is wrapped fully
around the blade. The index finger and thumb should be opposite each other on either side of the
blade while the remaining three fingers are sort of loosely curled around the handle. Gripping the
knife is mainly done with the thumb and forefinger. If you find that you’re tightly clutching the entire
handle of the knife just relax and loosen up. With practice you’ll get used to this grip, and soon any
other grip will feel very unnatural.

Your “guiding hand” should keep the food from sliding around on the cutting board. With the knife
blade flying up and down, you need to keep those fingertips tucked safely away, while still being able
to firmly hold the food. The “claw grip” keeps the fingers curled inward and grips the food with the
fingernails, and the fingers stay out of way. The side of the knife blade rests against the first knuckle
of the guiding hand, which helps keep the blade perpendicular to the cutting board.

Keep your knife sharp because a dull knife can be dangerous. More pressure is being applied when
using a dull knife and your hand will be much more likely to slip while a sharp knife makes your task
trouble-free.
1. Place the Whetstone on a cutting board or countertop with the course grit face up. Place towel
or under-liner underneath the stone to keep it from sliding.
2. With one hand, grasp the knife by the handle and hold the edge against the stone, point-first,
with the cutting edge meeting the stone at a 22 ½-degree angle. Here’s a picture of what 22
½ degrees looks like. Use your hand to stabilize the blade.
3. Slide the blade forward and across the stone, covering the entire length of the blade and
keeping the blade flush against the stone at a constant 22 ½-degree angle.
4. 4. Repeat the process for 10 times, then flip the knife over and give the other side of the blade
10 strokes.
5. Now flip the stone over to the fine grit side and give each side of the blade 10 strokes.
6. Finish by using a sharpening steel to hone the blade, then rinse and wipe the blade to remove any
metal particles.
There are many ways to hold a steel, either you hold it vertically with the point down, resting
securely on a towel or horizontally. This position allows you to see the angle you are using and
provides excellent control.
1. Start with the heel of the blade contacting the steel as close to the handle as possible with
the tip pointing straight out away from you.
2. Pull the blade back towards you and down the shaft of the steel. The motion should end
with the tip of the blade in contact with the steel towards the bottom of the shaft. Switch
sides and do exact same thing on the other side. Because you are holding the steel vertically,
you can see that you are using the same angle on both sides.
3. Repeat about 4-5 times. Gentle pressure is all that is needed. If you hear an almost musical
sound, the pressure is perfect.

• Mincing – A very fine cut suitable for many vegetables and herbs.
• Chiffonade – is a technique of cutting into very thin strips, much finer than shredding.
Remove stems from leaves and stack a few individual leaves together. Roll tightly into a
cylinder and slice into fine shreds. A leafy green such as spinach, mint or basil is often
prepared in this way to garnish dishes.
• Shredding or grating – Foods can be shredded using a chef’s knife, a slicer shredding tools
and attachments, a mandolin or box grater. It can be coarse or fine, depending on its
intended use.
• Rondelles – They are simple to cut in basic round shape measuring 1/8 to ½ inch.
• Diagonal and Bias cut – Hold the blade so that it cuts through the food on an angle; the
wider the angle, the more elongated the cut surface will be.
• Oblique or Roll cut – Used for long, cylindrical vegetables such as parsnips, carrots and
celery by holding the knife approximately 90 degrees and cut then roll vegetable quarter-
turn and slice through it on the same diagonal, forming a piece with two angled edges.
Repeat until the entire vegetable has been cut.
• Tourne’ – A cut which is 2-inch long x ¾ inch diameter long, football shape with 7 equal sides
with the use of a paring knife or tourne’ knife. Tourner in French means “to turn”; it is a
cutting technique that produces a shape that is similar to a barrel or a football.

• Cut off stems and place leaves in a pile on the cutting board.
• Hold the handle of the knife firmly in one hand, the other hand lightly on top of the blade.
• Quickly move the heel of the blade up and down in a rocking motion until chopped as fine as
desired.
Decorating fresh, well formed, and colorful fruits and vegetables through artistic carving makes food
more attractive and more appetizing. A sharp, pointed knife is needed to carve fruits and vegetables
beautifully.
Before Carving
Use knives with stainless steel or bronze blades because knives with ordinary steel blades will cause
discoloration of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables must be washed and cleaned

thoroughly. The right carved designs like floral patterns are suitable for decorating a plate of food,
while figures of animals such as rats are not.
To prevent browning, tomatoes and apples should be soaked in a mixture of lime juice and water
before being peeled, while carrots should not be soaked in water before carving as this will make the
flesh tougher and more difficult to carve.
Place carved petals of flower design of fruits and vegetables in ice cold water and spread beautifully.
Each type of carved fruit should be placed in separate containers in order to prevent spoilage.
You can make an apple fan from any fruit including apple, honeydew and cantaloupe.
A standard cut starts with your head above knife, so you can see where your knife.
• Red apples oxidize very quickly and they turn a little brown. Drop in acidulated water
(vinegar base or lemon juice) to keep them from getting brown.
• Rotate apple until you locate the lighter section that is evident.
• Make a series of 45-degree cuts. The first cut is done on the right side and the second on the
left side.
• When doing the wings, be careful that you do not spin the apple around.

• Use the base section you cut off for head of bird.
• With tip of the knife, create a little hole in apple and put in neck section.
• Use straight part of boning knife, not the tip because it is curved.
• Using the flat part of the knife, go in a little bit, but only deep enough to get slice out.
• Regulate the angle so it is only deep enough for the wing section to release. Then go back
and cut another wing part. The more wings you cut, the nicer it will look.
• You need a minimum of five wing sections, but you can go for seven wing sections.
• Beginning at the top of a tomato, peel the tomato skin with a sharp utility knife. The garnish
works best if the peels is A 3/4”to 1” wide, a continuous peel, and the peel is thin with very
little flesh attached.
• Lie peel flat with flesh side up. Roll up the peel.
• Set the peel on plate and allow it to open. If needed, shape the peel to resemble an
“opening rose”
