WHY STUDY FOOD TECHNOLOGY

The part played by food Technology in our modern lifestyles is being increasingly brought to the forefront by both media and government. All students are now entitled to learn to cook and to understand the principles of diet, nutrition, health and safety and sustainable food shopping. Cooking is at least a life skill and more importantly fun!!
