Advanced culinary research program (2015)

2013年，帕特森全球食品研究所（PGI）开始全面运作，成为最先进的烹饪研究和培训机构。该学院设有红河学院（RRC）酒店和烹饪艺术学院，并有望成为加拿大顶级酒店和烹饪学院之一。获得专业食品服务设备的部分原因是西方经济多样化（WD）投资200万美元。这一贡献促进了应用食品和烹饪研究的发展，以支持充满活力的马尼托巴省的食品工业；其中包括250多家公司，占全省GDP 16.3亿美元，提供23600个就业岗位，占马尼托巴省总就业岗位的4%。马尼托巴省17亿美元的商业和非商业食品服务行业支撑着对马尼托巴制造食品的需求。对当地产品满足各种饮食要求和限制的需求使得餐馆老板，许多是中小型企业，发挥他们的烹饪才能来开发独特的产品。烹饪学校将与食品服务社区合作，以满足对独特的当地生产食品日益增长的需求。

In 2013, the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute (PGI) began its full operations as a state of the art culinary research and training facility. The institute houses Red River College's (RRC) School of Hospitality and Culinary Arts and is on track to become one of the top hospitality and culinary institutes in Canada. The acquisition of specialized food service equipment was made possible in part by a $2 million investment from Western Economic Diversification (WD). This contribution facilitated the development of applied food and culinary research to support the vibrant Manitoba's food industry; which includes more than 250 companies accounting for $1.63 billion of provincial GDP and 23,600 jobs or 4% of Manitoba's total employment. Supporting demand for Manitoba made food products is the $1.7 billion commercial and non-commercial food service industry in Manitoba. The demand for local products to meet a variety of dietary requests and restrictions has restaurant owners, many who are small and medium enterprises, stretching their culinary talents to develop unique products. The Culinary School will engage the food service community to meet the growing demand for unique locally produced foods. Food product development is progressively changing to integrate chefs into the food development process from the beginning through to final application. This brings a new level of skills and applications to the research process - one that hasn't been readily available to Manitoba food companies in the past. This change will encourage more product innovation and enhance commercialization into retail and food service outlets. Proposed services to the agri-food and food service industry include: Recipe creation and development; Menu development for specific health benefits; Food service applications research; Consumer research in food service; Development of New food service technologies Investment to build the culinary research capabilities in the community will benefit food manufacturing SMEs, food service outlets, students and faculty of both RRC and other research organizations in Manitoba. It will round out the food research capabilities in Manitoba.
