Catering a wedding requires much more than preparing the food.

It takes planning, organization, timing, teamwork, and attention to every part of the guest experience.

Recently, Chef Ric members of the team and The Food Services Training Program students(FSTP) catered a wedding celebration, with the culinary students helping to prepare and serve the meal. Experiences like this give students the opportunity to apply their training in a professional event environment while working alongside an experienced catering team.

For guests, it means a thoughtfully prepared meal. For students, it is practical experience that helps build confidence and workplace readiness.

Professional kitchen training includes knowing how to use the equipment behind the food.

During this hands-on session, students of The Food Services Training Program (FSTP) learned about the functions of a Rational oven and how professional kitchen technology can help support consistency, timing, efficiency, and food quality.

Learning to use commercial equipment gives students practical experience they can carry with them into future workplaces. It is another important step in building confidence and preparing for employment in the culinary industry.

What piece of professional kitchen equipment would you be interested in learning more about?

Every strong cook starts with the basics.

Chef Allan Zelaya recently joined our Food Services Training Program students at The The Royal Canadian Legion - National Headquarters in Ottawa to teach a class on Basic Cooking Principles.

The session gave students the opportunity to learn practical kitchen foundations, ask questions, and build skills they can carry into future kitchen and food service opportunities.

At Chef Ric’s, these learning moments are part of helping students build confidence, experience, and a stronger path forward.

A sincere thank you to Chef Allan for spending time with our students and supporting their learning.

A plate can teach a lot before the first bite.

Recently, Chef Phil Cameron joined us in the Chef Ric’s kitchen classroom to lead a plating demo for our Food Services Training Program (FSTP) students.

The session gave students the chance to learn more about presentation, balance, colour, texture, and the small details that help bring a dish together.

These hands-on learning moments are an important part of the program. They give students the opportunity to learn from experienced chefs, ask questions, practice new techniques, and build confidence in the kitchen.

Thank you, Chef Phil, for sharing your time and knowledge with our students. We are grateful for the care and encouragement you brought to the classroom.The Ottawa Mission
