Sixty Grade 11 and 12 commercial cooking students at North Battleford Comprehensive High School prepared a Taste of Food Banquet that fed 250 people.
Grade 12 students designed an appetizer menu and Grade 11 students designed a menu. Each student then picked an item off their menu to prepare. The money raised, $820, went to the Empty Stocking Fund.
Mrs. Staff, the commercial cooking teacher, says, "it allows the students to create a large quantity of food and see the process from start to finish. Students also have to organize themselves, increase their recipes and have the ability to prepare flavourful food while following personal, kitchen and workplace safety.”
