Culinary Cooks Clothing

The clothing style, including cap, neckerchief, shirt, trousers and clogs (shoes) were worn by Culinary instructors at the Food Services school at CFB Borden in Ontario.

The apron would not necessarily have been part of the uniform and whites would be garrison clothing. (A garrison is a body of troops stationed in a particular location,)

The Culinary Specialist is primarily responsible for the preparation and service of food in field or garrison food service operations. Job training for a Culinary Specialist requires 10 weeks of Basic Combat Training and eight weeks of Advanced Individual Training with on-the-job instructions.

Some of a cook’s work responsibilities are:

  • Prepare and serve meals that range from cafeteria-style menus to formal multi-course meals for military and civilian dignitaries
  • Assist in the handling and control of food and non-food supplies
  • Practice workplace health and safety procedures
  • Provide for Religious and Spiritual dietary accommodations
  • Manage food safety and Defence
  • Operate, clean and maintain food services equipment and facilities
