Culinary one; the open door to everything that is delicious and heavenly. This week culinary one has been focusing on what makes the kitchen, the kitchen; the organization of it all; tools and their beautiful cupboard homes. It is such an important part of the kitchen is understanding where everything goes, the quicker you find it the quicker you eat right? “Who doesn’t love eating?” said no one ever.
With the learning process of pin the tail on the tools, Culinary one made a mini version of monkey, pull apart bread called “Bitsy Bread.” A recipe so simple and so yummy it starts off, as always, preheating the oven. Then the students are required to locate a few tools, a 1/3 measuring cup, a muffin tin and a table/teaspoon set. Next they line the muffin tin with muffin papers to make everything portable, on-the-go eats. Separating some yummy biscuits they roll thing mini cinnamon delights in cinnamon and sugar before popping them into the muffin tin and baking for 8 to 10 minuets and enjoy this delectable pull apart bread with now knowing where everything is.

Students in Culinary I have been learning the names and functions of 50 different kitchen tools. To help them, Culinary II-III students have been organizing the equipment in drawers and cupboards so they’re easy to find. The Culinary I students follow a list to locate everything from measuring spoons to sauce pans and pastry blenders to muffin tins. There’s a lot to remember!
Students in Culinary II and III at Chap have been compiling “Smashbooks.” Smashbooks are interactive notebooks that give students the chance to create their own text books. They have taped or glued in reference pages with measurements and cooking terms, as well as a table of contents and recipe contents pages. Instead of writing down notes, they can doodle the notes. It’ll help the student be organized and are able to go remake recipes at home. Since it’s called “Smashbooks” everything is all smashed together and that’s the fun of it! Students are able to be creative and it brings out their hidden artistic side.
