Catalog Search (w/ Tips and Tricks)

Schoolcraft Library Catalog

Use the library's catalog to search for Culinary Arts materials.

Tips to keep in mind when searching:

1) Searching for "culinary arts" under the Key Word or Subject criteria will not always give you the best results.

2) Instead, if you are searching for culinary arts materials available in our library's collection, then use one or more of the following Subject Headings:

Food service -- safety measures
Diet
Cooking
Baking
Cake
Candy
Restaurant management
Vegetarian cooking
Barbeque cooking

3) As you explore our holdings, you'll discover more specific Subject Headings, such as:

Cooking (Meat)
Diet therapy -- Recipes. Diabetes
Cooking, Mexican
Cooking, Italian

These help narrow the focus of the search and can be helpful if you have a specific topic or genre you're interested in exploring. If you want to know all of the Subject Headings for a particular item in our catalog, then click the Catalog Record tab in the item's record. You can click on one of the Subject Headings and it will bring up a list of all the other items in the library that have the same Subject Heading.

Important Note: Keep in mind that some of these subject searches will return mostly (if not all) ebooks and online resources. If you are only interested in book results, then select BOOK under the "Format" option on the Advanced Search page. This will get rid of all the ebook and online resource results and only provide you a list of books under the selected subject.

Feeding the World Well by Alan M. Goldberg (Editor)
ISBN: 9781421439358
Publication Date: 2020-10-27
---
"Leading experts reveal ways that the future of food production for the world's burgeoning population can (and must) be both sustainable and ethical.In the United States, food is abundant and cheap but loaded with hidden costs to the environment, human health, animal welfare, and the people who work in our food systems. The country's current food production systems lack diversity in crops and animals and are intensified but not sustainable, inhumane in the treatment of animals, and inconsiderate of labor. In order to feed the world's rapidly growing population with high-quality, ethically produced food, new food production systems are urgently needed. These new systems must be genetically diverse and environmentally sustainable, and they need to follow internationally recognized animal welfare and labor practices.Feeding the World Well examines these costs of cheap food while presenting a unique framework for ethical food systems: the Core Ethical Commitments, which are designed to guide consumers in choosing foods that are aligned with their values while helping producers enhance the ethics of their practices and products." -- From the description
