New Professional Program Begins on 29, January, 2012

The JCI is proud to announce the opening of our next Professional Program beginning on 29 January, 2012.  This is a six month program that teaches the foundation skills of kosher cooking to set you on your way for an exciting job in the kosher food industry.  At the end of the program, qualified students are sent on an internship in a local establishment.  Please see our web site at www.jcichef.com or call us at 972 2 992 3128 for more detail.

The students in the Culinary program recently enjoyed a trip to Shuk Machne Yehuda to learn how to select the freshest fish and then it was back to the JCI to learn how to prepare and cook their purchases.   The students learned how to bone and fillet whole fish and then they tried out their culinary skills turning out many delicious new dishes.
