Monroe College in New Rochelle has built and just opened, this semester, a Culinary Arts Center on its downtown campus. Planned and outfitted with the most current culinary industry equipment standards and trends, four commercial kitchens have been custom-designed in a 1,900 sq. ft. open space to simulate restaurant, hotel and other food service kitchens where graduates of the program are most likely to find jobs. Two à la carte, one banquet, and one baking and pastry kitchen are outfitted with Jade commercial ranges, induction cook tops, and combination-oven/steamers that allow chefs to steam, poach, roast, broil, bake and “rethermalizeâ€? food simultaneously. Large windows allowing in natural light coupled with specially designed electric lighting help students understand the nuances of colors and texture and how prepared food should look to the guests in the front of the house.The new facility was designed by Susan Doban Architect, PC, of Brooklyn. Food service consultants Clevenger Frable LaVallee of White Plains, worked with Monroe College faculty chefs to select equipment and interior furnishings for the Center. Chef Daniel Hinder, an internationally trained chef with more than thirty years’ experience, serves as Director of the Culinary Arts Program.
