On Monday the 6th of May every nutrition class and fcs classes had cupcake wars, where they made there own cupcake and they were judged by the teacher. On Monday we all started making the cupcakes and cooking them. Then we took them out and covered them till Tuesday. On Tuesday we started decorating the cupcakes how we wanted. Some groups had the same theme type cupcakes and others were different. After we finished decorating we set them on the table to get judged.
This season’s Iron Chef team from Nutrition 4 has been preparing to compete at Indian Hills on April 12, 2019. Each season the competing teams are given a region to base their dish off of and a required ingredient that must be included in their main dish. Our Iron chef team consisted of Kyla Perez and Zach Edgren on the appetizer, James Sadler and Trestin Sales on the entree, and Natalie Nemitz and Riley White on the dessert. The theme for this year’s competition was American cuisine, and the special ingredient that had to be included was salmon.
As stated, Perez and Edgren were put in charge of handling our appetizer. The appetizer was mushrooms stuffed with a spiced sausage and cheese, with a creamy pesto sauce on the side. Sadler and Sales’ main dish was oven baked salmon with a potato chip crust and an assortment of smashed potatoes, roasted carrots and squash on the side Nemitz and White were in charge of the dessert, and they made a baked apple pastry dessert with pecan ice cream on the side. On the day we competed, there were nine schools preparing dishes. Our school did not place, but overall we were satisfied with the work we presented to the judges. Next year we hope to compete again and do better! :) Natalie Nemitz We went to Iron Chef with 6 people from EBF.
