The CurriculumSustainable Cuisine Program

“I think the use of local products resonates with the public. People want to know where their food comes from. Making that connection is an important part of eating.”

- Chef Mark Fischer, restaurant Six89, Carbondale, Colorado.

“The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.”

- Michael Pollan, author of “The Omnivore’s Dilemma”

Edwards, Colorado Learn, Work and PlayThe Setting

Fresh mountain air and abundant recreation opportunities draw guests from around the world to Colorado’s world-class resorts in the Colorado Rockies. Keystone, Aspen and the Vail Valley are premier culinary destinations in communities that care passionately about sustainability. Food is the focus of festivals, farmer’s markets, Slow Food movements and black tie affairs.

Our instructors are passionate. Our location in the mountains is spectacular. Up-to-date technology and high-speed Internet are available. Come for the love of food. Stay for the love of community and a vibrant, healthy mountain life.

Great chefs understand the axiom “Know your farmer,

know your food”. They know that great food begins

long before it arrives in a box at the back door of the

restaurant.

Colorado Mountain College’s unique Sustainable Cuisine

program teaches the art of crafting delicious cuisine us-

ing fresh, locally sourced foods that are healthy for our

communities and planet. You’ll gain the same foundation

of cooking and culinary management skills offered in

our highly successful Culinary Arts program, while also

exploring agro-ecology, sustainable food service opera-

tions and the politics of food.

The National Restaurant Association reports that nine

in ten fine dining operators believe that demand for

locally sourced foods will grow in the future. Chefs who

understand the emerging challenges and opportunities

involved in creating dishes with these ingredients are in

demand. Prepare for the new paradigm with a degree in

Sustainable Cuisine from Colorado Mountain College.

Courses of Study

Courses in Colorado Mountain College’s Sustainable Cuisine program focus on cooking skills and aesthetics, menu development and planning, sustainable agriculture and cuisine and the politics of food. You can earn a two-year Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Sustain-able Cuisine (64-credit hours minimum), or choose from three certificate programs in Sustainable Cuisine.

The AAS degree and Sustain-able Food Systems Certificate require students to attend at least one spring, summer and fall term to experience agroecology in a variety of seasons. Many Sustainable Cuisine courses coincide with the AAS in Culinary Arts and may be applied toward that degree as well.
