Biography
Hello,
My name is Chef Johnson and I teach Intro to Culinary Arts. This is my fifth year teaching. This is my third career since I graduated from Dobson High in 1986. I got to live a dream of being a Paramedic and was fortunate to spend almost twenty years in pre-hospital emergency services. After I left that industry I was able to go to Scottsdale Community College for their Culinary Arts program. I too a hobby and turned it into a career. After I graduated I worked as a Chef for AJ's Fine Foods and worked there for 9 years. It was trough a work colleague that I was able to apply for a position here at Westwood where I have been ever since.
This is an introductory class that will introduce the student to culinary arts. This is a partial list of what we cover:
* Safety and sanitation
* Kitchen equipment
* Knife skills
* Recipes
* Baking and mixing methods
The best way to get a hold of me is via email, I try to be diligent and answer quickly.
