Urban Explorers: Climate Change Public Awareness
Join us for a spring session of job skills and life skills. Learn about climate change and express yourself through videography, art, dance, and gardening.
Food! the Musical
Urban Explorers students created scenery for their educational performance piece, Food! the Musical.
Dessert skills
Advanced students have the opportunity to volunteer at the Church Night In dinner on Wednesday nights. Shaquille worked on these assorted fruit parfaits for dessert.
Knife skills
Students practice new knife cuts – including cubing butter and brunoise on carrots and celery – and use mise en place to organize and portion ingredients.
Handling raw meat safely
This week, students reviewed kitchen sanitation terminology and procedures. We discussed temperature control for safety, the importance of hand washing and gloves, and how to prevent food borne illness.
The class learned about force meats, such as sausage, and how to handle raw meats. Students removed casings from sausage and cooked sausage and beef for baked ziti with meat sauce.
Apples n’ Cinnamon
Students peeled, chopped, and cooked fresh Granny Smith apples in butter, sugar, and spices for mini apple pies.
