Ernest Ward Middle School added a new Culinary Arts Academy this school year, giving students an opportunity to explore a variety of academic and occupation goals in the hospitality and tourism industries.

Students are learning food preparation techniques, food safety, proper equipment use, menu development, food presentation, technology use in the culinary field and more.

    Some good looking Lasagne and bread. A good and impressive job by the school for initiating this program. Maybe they could invite folks in from the local community for a nice cooked meal once in a while. Perhaps they can bring in area folks as consultants to teach the younger folks how food was prepared before the age of microwaves and fast food. Nothing makes a person feel really good than having passed down something to the next generation.

    429SCJ-The cedar grilled fish is very good if cooked properly. I use hickory or oak to do my fish (Snapper). It’s also good to use cooking shrimp.

    Has anyone tried cedar board grilling with fish? I am curious as to how it tasted. The lasagna and garlic bread look real good, like right now with a glass of skim milk.
