What do you do with the food you make in culinary school?

What food should I make for school?

  • In biology, my teacher has us 'make' (not buy) food that comes from a plant (since we are learning about plants in class)... 1. a plant food would have to be anything like chocolate (coco bean plants) like chocolate chip cookies, or brownies... but i don't want to make those, assuming everybody in class is going to do that. 2. It cant be anything like a fruit salad (apparently that isn't making something from scratch) but a peach cobbler is a good example... So anything that is mixed up together isn't aloud, but if it is baked or blended, or whatever, its ok... 3. I want it to be creative, and I need lots of ideas.. :) 4. Can't forget the food has to come from a plant!!! (fruits are ovaries of the plant.. I don't think vegetables count because they are a root... so basically anything that is or has a seed, I can make...) 5. last, I don't want to make smoothies or pizza, or anything that will melt or cool down... remember, I have to make something that will feed 25-30 people... ok thanks.. :)

  • Answer:

    well you asked for "lots of ideas", sooooo My first choice would be Artichoke-Spinach-dip Both are vegetables, and neither are "roots" The only problem here is it should be served "warm" It is normally served on crackers or cubed bread. I would use a wheat bread or Wheat cracker for another "plant" representation. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/artichoke-spinach-dip/ -------------- Second choice is another Spinach dip, but this one is served cold also contains water chestnuts. The water chestnut is actually not a nut at all, but an aquatic vegetable that grows in marshes. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/best-spinach-dip-ever/ It is shown in the recipe to be served in a sour dough bread bowl...but I prefer to dunk chunks of delicious Hawaiian sweet bread in the dip. I hope you can use store-bought bread! If not, here is a recipe for the Hawaiian bread <--( it also contains Pineapple juice, and the pineapple is another plant representation) ---------------------- Third choice would be anything made with Vanilla beans. most people do not know that the Vanilla bean is actually a seed pod that comes from a certain type of Orchid. And it's difficult to grow. Hence Vanilla beans are expensive (See my Question about Vanilla Bean growing. The answers are GREAT! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=?qid=20090905220249AAjGpqH ) Vanilla Pistachio Fig Tart <-- 3 plants http://allrecipes.com/recipe/vanilla-pistachio-fig-tart/ Boston Cream Pie (uses Vanilla AND Chocolate) Is actually not a "pie" and uses a packaged cake mix (which contains flour, another plant representation). The recipe also calls for vegetable oil. recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chef-Johns-Boston-Cream-Pie Tutorial video: http://allrecipes.com/video/592/boston-cream-pie/detail.aspx?prop24=RR_RelatedVideo --------- Lastly I'll suggest that you make something with the ONLY edible fruit that has the seeds on the OUTSIDE. (Strawberries) Strawberry/Rhubarb Crumb Pie ..and yes, Rhubarb is another plant http://allrecipes.com/recipe/strawberryrhubarb-crumb-pie/ ------ Edit: I imagine that your school might have a kitchen somewhere that has a microwave to heat uo food or a refrigerator to keep things cool? You might ask your teacher about that. Otherwise, I think all the students will be limited to cookies, lol. Guacamole with corn-tortilla chips (make it FRESH just before you leave for school, and use extra Lime juice to keep the avacado from turning brown) http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-guacamole/ But as a last resort make a trail mix with dried fruit and nuts http://allrecipes.com/recipe/mountain-trail-mix/ http://allrecipes.com/recipe/terrific-trail-mix/

If there is no nut allergies in your class "Puppy Chow" is an easy (though slightly messy) idea. Ingredients you would need: -Crispix or Chex (corn or rice works) cereal (name brands there are store alternatives) -semi-sweet chocolate -peanut butter (reason for why i'm noting the allergy thing) -powder sugar Here is the recipe provided by Kellogs (the maker of Crispix). Ingredients 1 package (6 oz., 1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate morsels 1/4 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup peanuts (optional) 6 cups Kellogg's® Crispix® cereal 1 cup powdered sugar Directions 1. In small, heavy saucepan melt chocolate morsels over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in peanut butter and peanuts (if desired). 2. In large bowl pour chocolate mixture over cereal. Stir until evenly coated. 3. Place powdered sugar in 2-gallon, zipper-type, plastic bag. Add cereal mixture. Close bag and gently toss until evenly coated. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS 1. In large microwave safe bowl melt chocolate at high for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in peanut butter and peanuts (if desired). 2. Add KELLOGG'S CRISPIX cereal. Stir until evenly coated. Continue as directed in step 3 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.

Vegetables are a food and comes from a root, and to say you can't use them is ludicrous in your thoughts. I assume you have to make at home, just make a rice dish with fruits like courgettes and tomatoes and veggies like carrots and corn

Hummus 3 (1 lb.) cans chick peas, (garbanzo beans), drained 3/4 cup olive oil 1/2 cup lemon juice 6 cloves garlic, peeled Salt and pepper to taste Put all ingredients into blender. Blend on high speed until smooth. Chill in serving dish. Serve with carrot sticks and celery sticks for dipping or spread on crackers. EDIT: This recipe should provide enough hummus for the teacher and each student to spread on 1 cracker and 1 carrot or celery stick. Keep it in the fridge until you're ready to leave home, but hummus is best at room temperature, and we've often left it on a table in the teachers' lounge all day with no problem. Chick peas are legumes, olives and lemons are fruits, garlic is a bulb, and pepper is an herb.
