The final this year was a dish that each student chose, that meant something to either themselves, or their families.  They had to bring the ingredients and re-create their dish within their class period.

The students also had to present their dishes to a panel of judges (teachers, aides, and staff), verbally explain why they picked their dish, then had each judge critique their dishes.  

Each student was judged on the following categories: Color, Texture, Flavor, Overall Presentation, and Cooking/Presenting on Time. 

This year was a bit of a challenge becasue I was brought to Magnolia HS to teach my culinary program.  There wasn't a kitchen in place yet for me to teach in, so I was asked to teach an art class that was "culinary themed".  I decided on teaching a Graphic Design class which focusses on the food industry.  

The students designed most of their projects in Canva and made various food posters, menu designs, restaurant signs, and cereal box designs.  Here is some of the work my students did for their Culinary Design class.
