Food Day October 24th!

"Food Day is a nationwide celebration
and a movement for healthy,
affordable, and sustainable food."

 Johnson & Wales is hosting an event for Food Day on October 24th 2013. We will have vendors from around the area come and share some samples and educate guests on healthy living. As a school, we will be giving tours of our edible garden which includes all types of plants that can be utilized in the kitchen such as fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables rare and common.
My contribution to Food Day will be a YouTube video to promote Johnson & Wales, the students, and our commitment to a healthier and more sustainable food culture.

In my video I will be making a healthy seasonal salad and discussing the health benefits of each ingredient that comes from our edible garden.

For everyone here, you get a sneak peak of what the plate will look like at the end of my video.

This is a Radicchio Salad with Fresh Black Turkey Figs, Roasted Fennel Bulb and Macadamia Nuts, Creme Fraiche, Grapeseed Oil, Cracked Black Pepper and Fresh Fennel Sprigs.

Long Time Coming

My junior year of college started a short month ago, and it has certainly been a busy month! To update all on what has been going on in my life, here is a detailed list.

Classes started for my Bachelor's degree in Food Service Management.
This trimester I am taking Food Service Management Systems and human Resource Applications, Hospitality Law, Macro Economics, and Psychology. So far, I enjoy all the classes.

I was hired as one of the new College of Culinary Arts Teaching Assistants. The job comes with great responsibility, and I am honored to be hired and work with a select few.

As a Teaching Assistant I am responsible for what is called Action plans, or demos and competitions that I design for the students in Culinary Arts and Baking and Pastry.

There are also many different types of events that happen around campus that we are in some way responsible for.  It has been a couple of weeks on the job, and I love it.

When typed out, it does not seem like I have been busy, but these days and weeks are just flying by. Soon it will be thanksgiving break and a whole new trimester of classes.
