I took the Professional Certificate in Food Anthropology and Culinary History Reporting at Stanmore School of Business to enhance my career as a chef. The course was pretty cool, and I learned a lot about the cultural context of food. I liked how the instructors used real-life examples to illustrate the concepts, making it easier to understand and relate to my own experiences. The course materials were decent, but I wished there were more interactive elements, like videos or quizzes. Nevertheless, I gained some valuable insights into the history of different cuisines and how they've evolved over time. I've started incorporating some of these ideas into my menu planning, and I'm excited to see how my customers respond.
