JWU expands baking and pastry program

Johnson & Wales University (JWU) has expanded its baking and pastry program and added a new textbook. As more foodservice establishments require employees have crossover culinary and baking skills, JWU added courses to its baking and pastry program such as fundamental skills and techniques and artisan bread work to give pastry students more experience with basic cooking skills and artisan bread production skills. In addition, all foods prepared by students are now free of trans fats, and the program offers new focuses on health, wellness and nutrition.
