Culinary Arts April/May Article
Launch the media gallery 1 playerIn the last two weeks of April, Culinary Arts students attended a field trip to Blackhawk Technical College in Janesville and prepared for the Mock Restaurant event. At the field trip, students were given a tour of the college and provided with a seven course meal. The Mock Restaurant is the capstone event for the Culinary Arts program and consists of inviting students' parents, guardians, or other family members to attend and providing them with a five course meal. The menu is chosen by students and prepared entirely from scratch. This year, the menu consists of homemade nachos, potato bacon soup, bistro salad, chicken sofrito, and strawberry shortcake. The event will take place in the first week of May, and teaches students about menu planning, plating, food costing, and kitchen professionality.
