Description

Ideas, values and beliefs regarding food and its associated practices are cultural, learned behaviour. To gain knowledge and understanding of food and food practices as key aspects of human experience, students will explore origins and development of diverse foods and beverages that help to distinguish the Canadian food experience. They will gain the ability to taste and examine ingredients using various cultures’ equipment and to explain how other cultures and Indigenous peoples have shaped Canadian food choices and traditions. Students will also gain an understanding of foodways and their practices in different cultures and how food habits function beyond just providing energy and sustenance.

Both in-person learners and online will use practical skills, social science research methods, and the self-reflective practice.
