 Today, we made some delicious cupcakes. Every group got to choose what flavor they wanted, my group made chocolate cupcakes with strawberry and raspberry frosting, and the other groups made vanilla cupcakes. They not only turned out very tasty but also very beautiful due to our hard work on the decoration. Overall, we made way too many and the kitchen is now filled with cupcakes but I have no doubt they will end up getting eaten by hungry highschoolers. We also prepped the dough for the pizzas we are making tomorrow!

Max is really not sure what Gio is doing but she is sure it isn't right.


Gio wants to make his look like dinosaurs.  Rawr.

To start off day one of the Art of Cooking M-Term we headed off to the main campus to begin our first meal. Before cooking, chef Avril, gave us a lesson on Knife skills to ensure we were all safe in the kitchen. After that we began preparing our ingredients for Bibimbap. This involved a lot of cutting of vegetables and making different sauces to accompany the dish. After all of our ingredients were prepared we moved to the stove and seared the veggies and cooked our marinated steak. It’s safe to say that we have a delicious start to this week of Art of Cooking and we are all looking forward to making more recipes! Avril walked us through a lesson in knife skills and how to cut the different vegetables. Max was in charge of making the sauce for her group. Gloria is Stirfrying Peppers. Stirling assembling vegies. Gloria and her prepared Bibimbap. Maria is very proud of her presentation! Alice and Talulah compare servings. Recipe

  Chicken mole, a Puebla, Mexico dish, is a very tedious and time consuming recipe to follow. We start with 1 whole chicken and this part I will never forget, we cracked the chickens bones with our hands to get the different parts of the meat we needed: legs, breast, and wings. We then had to gather all our spices and chiles in the correct measurements so that we could assemble our mole sauce. During this process we actually broke 2 blenders on accident. Our mole was too awesome for the blenders... We ended up only using one mole sauce because that was the only one that was completed. We then made our rice to go along side our chicken mole. The rice came out fantastic, and so did the chicken mole!  Chicken mole day was definitely a long one. So if you decide to make chicken mole at home be prepared to have time, all the correct ingredients and their measurements, and a functioning blender! RECIPE

  Today in art of cooking we made quiches and fruit tarts! This process took a long time seeing as we made everything from scratch, but it was definitely worth it in the end. Personally, I don’t like egg so the fruit tart was definitely my favorite, but all the egg lovers enjoyed the groups quiches. Both of these recipes would be super delicious and lovely to bring to a brunch. Overall, it was a great day and everyone had a lot of fun while also learning how to make something new!! Gloaria, Ambika, Stirling, and pie crust. Evan and his bacon. Max prepared the dough for the tart. A finished fruit tart. Alice serves up a savory Cheese Quiche A spinach and Feta quiche.  It may have been the best of the day and may also have been the one Chef Jessica and Mr, Wadzeck put together. RECIPE
