Like turning ingredients into something delicious? As a Cook, you prepare a wide range of foods for small or large groups, or individual dishes in restaurants and test kitchens. In the kitchen, you will prepare, cook, and assemble food such as meats, salads and dressings, soups, sauces, sandwiches, vegetables, desserts, pastries, baked foods, hot and cold buffets, and non-alcoholic beverages. ​
​
More specifically, you will create specialty dishes, develop recipes, and perform menu and nutrition planning, food costing, purchasing, scheduling, and receiving deliveries. You will have an eye for detail as well, by checking product quality and quantity and you will estimate food, liquor, wine, and other beverage consumption to anticipate purchases or requisitions.​
