Windhover Dinner


On October 25, students from culinary arts helped prep and serve food for the annual Windhover Center for the Arts Dinner in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. This annual event is a scholarship dinner to help raise money and $1,000 is donated back in the culinary arts department. People from local schools and art departments attended this elegant dinner. Participating in this event was fun because I was able to interact with my fellow classmates and friends outside of school. We had a good time prepping and getting the food out for the dinner. For the appetizer, we made a salad with romaine lettuce, salmon, red peppers and topped it with a red vinaigrette dressing. Afterwards, we quickly put together the main course meal with chicken en cruet and a Wisconsin pilaf made with potatoes, wild rice, and cheese, steamed carrots and broccoli topped with a Dijon mustard sauce. The main course was quite tasty and I heard nothing but good remarks about the meal. For dessert, we put together a variety of mousse flavors ranging from raspberry, chocolate and vanilla. These tasty treats were a great finish to the hearty dinner. Overall we had a great time laughing with one another and enjoying a fun event that benefitted the Culinary Club. I’m looking forward to more events like this to get hands-on experiences working with people in different settings. Don’t forget to check out the pictures below to see us live in action! Until next time, Ciao!
Cheers,
