Program Highlights

Experience a number of interesting and unique courses within the program such as:

Fundamentals of Nutrition

The beginning is the most important part of the work (Plato). In this course, students examine the fundamentals of nutrition by investigating the six classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. Students examine current Canadian guidelines and recommendations and also learn to recognize and decipher credible sources of nutrition information.


Healthy Weights and Weight Loss

Healthy weight loss isn't just about a diet or program. It's about an ongoing lifestyle that includes long-term changes in daily eating and exercise habits (CDC, 2015) This course introduces the concepts of energy balance, healthy body weights and healthy strategies for weight management. Behaviour Modification approaches are examined to enhance the students abilities to facilitate behaviour change. Students practice various behaviour modification techniques and discuss their importance in promoting healthy living. Popular weight loss diets are evaluated and critiqued.


Nutrition and Chronic Disease

Over 20% of the Canadian population aged 20 years old and over is living with at least 1 major chronic disease such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (Canadian Community Health Survey, 2014). Food and nutrition play an important role in health promotion and disease prevention. In this course, students explore the role of nutrition, diet and menu modification in the prevention and treatment of disease. Students practice adapting food and lifestyle goals for specific disease states. The role of modifying/fortifying food and the use of nutritional supplements are also considered, to help clients meet disease specific nutritional requirements.

Mark Jachecki

Since childhood, Chef Mark Jachecki has been exposed to the culinary life. As a boy, he was introduced to the wonders of the kitchen through the beloved German restaurant, Zum Rhein, located in Toronto on Lakeshore Boulevard West, which was owned by his father in the late 1970’s to early 1980’s. Chef Jachecki’s grandfather was also a Toronto chef at the prestigious Granite Club originally located on St. Clair Avenue West.

Those family influences led to the beginning his cooking career in the classic European tradition of a rigorous apprenticeship, at Toronto’s Regal Constellation Hotel (1987-1990). There, his affinity with the hotel’s Swiss chef and the classic French Escoffier methods he was being taught, inspired Jachecki’s own Swiss experience, at Gasthof Sternen hotel in Wettingen in 1991.

Upon his return to Canada later that year, Chef Jachecki took the lead as chef of dining rooms of The Estates of Sunnybrook (Vaughan Estate) for six years, before joining the award-winning restaurant 360 at the CN Tower for two years. In 1988, he was named the Executive Chef at one of Toronto’s premier hotels, The Westin Harbour Castle and was the chef of a successful Toronto catering company for seven years before joining Canyon Creek Chophouse as Corporate Executive Chef in 2007.

A Certified Chef de Cuisine (C.C.C. – American Culinary Federation), Chef Jachecki launched a consulting company – BARIK Consulting in 2012 which enabled him to move on to his own business and begin his teaching career. Chef Jachecki became a fulltime faculty member at Humber College in 2015, resides in Brampton, Ontario and is a member of Les Toques Blanches, The American Culinary Federation, Les Chaines de Rotisseur (Maitre Grillardin) and the Canadian Culinary Federation (CCFCC).
