My Project
A totally new class is being presented at the middle school level. It will be a journey through gastronomy. A unique chance to learn and to see what life as a chef might be like. A main goal and benefit of this project is to enable students to use easy culinary menus for students to be able to take home a recreate at home, as well as enjoy just having fun while learning. The items, like food coloring and pans, from this project will be used in multiple recipes, so they will be helpful all year long.
This coming year, I will teach at least two semesters' worth of students the art of culinary.
Introducing them to both chefs and food scientists, as well as asking them to create culinary delights of their own. Students will be able to take some of their creations home to share with family and friends, with items like take-home containers from this project.
This project includes a wide assortment of requests that are all related to culinary and cooking. I have requested pans and measurement items that will stay in the classroom from year to year. Items like the cookbooks and lesson plans will be used by the teacher, but the students will have access to. Then you have items like food coloring that will be used each year and then need to be updated. The torch will allow for gastronomy lessons that include fire, while the Sodium Alginate and pipettes will allow us to create boba-type drinks. The cheesecloth would allow for both cheese and other gastronomic delights.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
