A tradition in Stafford Culinary Classes is to make Cheesy Potato Soup using the vegetables that are cut when students are learning and practicing knife skills. Students learn how to safely utilize various knives, including the Chef's/French Knife. We begin with the Rondelle and Diagonal/Bias cuts, followed by the Julienne, Brunoise, Batonnet, and small, medium, and large dice. The bread bowls were prepared using Hudson Cream Flour, provided to the Culinary Program by Stafford County Flour Mills.
8th-grade students are perfecting their accurate measurement skills and enjoying the results! The students measured, and prepared dough over the past several days, learned about portion scoops, and baked delicious chocolate chip cookies. We appreciate Stafford County Flour Mills which donates the premier flour for baking - Hudson Cream Flour - for our baking endeavors.
Today some of the middle/high school students completed the mySAEBRs. We use this screening tool twice/year to assess for social-emotional or behavioral risk in students and identify learning needs so we can implement additional supports, as needed.

Culinary students are evaluating both dried herbs & spices and fresh herbs this week. Students describe what the herb or spice looks like, smells like, tastes like, and what foods it could be paired with. Today a combination of fresh rosemary, thyme, basil, and chives was sprinkled over boiled, smashed new potatoes, then olive oil and melted butter were drizzled on the potatoes, then roasted until crispy in a 400-degree oven. Most of the fresh herbs were harvested from Mrs. Unruh's herb garden.
