Potatoes – Versatile and important, potatoes take their place in the spotlight in this episode.

Seasonings and herbs are added to change the color, taste, and texture of the final product.
EPISODE #8 – Appetizers – start your meal with appetizers
Appetizers – A classic that is continually reinvented, appetizers are an essential part of any chef’s culinary education.

Marinades, sauces, and vinaigrettes are all given their due.
Episode #9 – Dry Heat Cooking Methods – sautéing and roasting
It’s time to start putting all the culinary knowledge you’ve gained in the previous episodes together. This episode covers dry heat cooking methods such as sautéing, roasting, and stir-frying. We prepare, cook, and serve a complete meal consisting of a protein, starch, and vegetable, utilizing the knowledge and skills you have acquired in the previous cooking episodes. Meal plating and presentation are key components as you eat with the eyes first.
Episode #10 – Moist Heat Cooking Methods – quick braising and poaching
Moist Heat Cooking Methods – Poaching and braising using a court bouillon, are the primary focus for this episode. Moist heat cooking is used to produce flavorful dishes by gently cooking the item in various amounts of liquid. Students then use the same liquid to create a sauce for the finished dish. This technique does not normally start by searing the outside of the item. Therefore, a noticeable amount of flavor is transferred from the item to the liquid.
