Culinary Arts Assessment Task 1 (CTE CA 1) Menu Project p. 3 Culinary Arts Menu Project In a restaurant setting, a patron s first impression is the menu and its presentation. The menu is a visual piece that communicates the various food selections available to the patron. As an employee in the food service field, whether it be a restaurant or institutional food service, you may be asked to develop and produce a menu. You will develop a menu in brochure form. It will include a detailed descriptor for each item, including ingredients, methods of preparation, seasonings, accompaniments, and enticing adjectives. The menu that you will develop will include meal choices that develop contrast for color, texture, shape, size and temperature. The menu will also include name and price of each item. Layout/graphic design will be evaluated. The project must be edited for Standard English usage and/or another language if appropriate. You will demonstrate how language usage may change depending on the restaurant diversity that will be served by the menu. You will present the menu to classmates and to patrons during a luncheon. A.
