The Chef and the Garden
Registration for Chef & the Garden Cooking Class 2013 is now closed
The first summer Chef & the Garden Cooking Class was a success. Thank you to Chef Rob Donis for leading a great group of our faculty, staff and students during an 8-week course around the kitchen and garden.
In addition to learning the basics about seasonal and healthy cooking using bounty from the garden, Chef Rob's pupils got hands-on experience practicing the following skills:
- Basics on Kitchen Equipment, Utensils and Knife Skills
- Preserving Foods
- Basic Planting and Seed Starting
- Planning Summer Salads
- Pesto Basics
- Pasta-Making
- Simple and Healthy Fruit Desserts
Check back here for recipes and healthy cooking tips and don’t forget, each Wednesday, Chef Rob will answer a culinary question on Ask the Chef page. Submit your own!
