New webCampus course for February: Culinary Skills – For the Love of Veggies

Toronto – January 20, 2018 – UFCW Canada's ground-breaking online education program, webCampus, is launching a brand new course for the month of February.

The free online course is being offered in English from February 1 to 28 and is available to all UFCW Canada members and their family members, as well as our community partners.

The new course is described as follows:

Culinary Skills – For the Love of Veggies

Research over the past decade has produced indisputable evidence that vegetables play an important role in maintaining a healthy diet, and can aid in disease prevention and weight maintenance. They also provide a variety of colours, textures, and flavours to a meal. Clearly, then, eating vegetables can pay off in a number of ways. 

This course is another addition to the Culinary Skills series, which is designed to help participants develop the fundamental techniques required to work in a professional kitchen or simply improve their personal cooking skills.

The course will provide suggestions on how to “spice up” vegetables by teaching participants about the different vegetable categories, how specific veggies are affected by cooking, and how to cook vegetables using methods such as poaching, boiling, steaming, roasting/grilling, and sautéing. A primary goal of the course is to help participants create mouth-watering vegetable dishes.

Registration for the "Culinary Skills: For the Love of Veggies" course is now open. To register for this free online course, and to find more out more about the webCampus program, visit the webCampus website.
