Is Studying Halal worth it?

Filed under: Culinary Arts

Hi guyz! I’m almost finish at my Most Institute culinary school and I am still confuse on what field I’m about to specialized. I will be selecting different courses like Asian Cusine in this course we will be studying the different Asian foods like Japanese, Chinese, korean, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysian Cuisines and etc we will be studying 21 countries and their food specilaties.

Baking and Pastries in this program it has intensive training in the principles of traditional pasteries, dough, breads, cakes and other yeast breads. We will be baking all of this and the greatest part is we learn in a traditional way.

Cakes and Chocolates Making of difficult-hard-to-make cakes and chocolates the cakes will be a little more advance compared to baking and pasteries. The chocolate will be made from scratch and it will teach us on how to mold or form chocolates in the designs that we want.

Theraputic Cookery  I just heard from them that theraputic cookery is studying the kind of food that is compatible in your blood. hehe I still don’t know if I’m correct. tama ba chef Alma?? hehe

Halal Culinary arts This is the course that is really bothering me I really don’t know if I’m going to take this course but I am really interested to learn this course. The problem is maybe it’s not worth it on what I pay and also it is still new in the industry. I remember the first time seeing this word when I cross a restaurant and their was a paper, post on the rigth side saying "HALAL CERTIFIED" in that day I’ve been searching what Halal means and I’m happy on what I read.

Halal (حلال, alāl, halaal) is an Arabic term meaning "permissible". In the English language it most frequently refers to food that is permissible according to Islamic law. In the Arabic language it refers to anything that is permissible under Islam. It is estimated that 70% of Muslims worldwide follow Halal standards and that the Global Halal Market is currently a USD 580 billion industry. Its antonym is haraam. Also Halal is the proper way of preparing food through muslim ways example in muslim, pork is forbiden when your cooking in a restaurant that is Halal Certified you should be aware that their is no single piece of pork in your equipments. Like when you use an oven you bake the pork in the oven and when you already take out the pork you cannot use the oven again in Halal ways because the grease in that pork already sticks in the oven.

I was really amazed in this way of cooking because it tries to acheive for perfection it makes you always be aware in the way you cook and the way you preapare your food. Also the problem is their is a chance that you should be converted into muslim if you want to be a halal certified chef. . . Is it really worth it to study these?
