Around the world in one afternoon

Vi took an interest in the culinary traditions of China.

Brandon brought food from
Germany for his presentation.

Devon talked about Niagara
 wine country.

Last week the afternoon Cook Basic I class finished off our five weeks of theory with presentations on a country of our choice. Food and culture were on display as students spoke about how geography and history has shaped the culinary traditions of regions from Niagara to China.

The aroma of warm maple syrup mingled with bratwurst and pea soup in the kitchen, while the classroom was transformed to a tasting room for German beer, Niagara wine, and coconut rice from the Philippines. 

Nathan (right) gave us a taste of
Quebec with his split pea soup.

Resty told us about the history
 and foods of  The Philippines.
