Babylon Students Get Choppin' In the Kitchen

Babylon High School ninth- through 12th-grade culinary foods classes recently had the chance to learn about the art of food preparation from an expert who works with the largest network of culinary schools in North America. 

Rick Fine, a culinary specialist and the associate director of high school programs for the International Culinary Schools at the Art Institute, visited the classes this spring to speak with the students and their teacher Jenna Cucci about the multibillion-dollar food and hospitality industry and the Art Institute, as well as to conduct a food demonstration.

During the demonstration, the classes learned how to make the traditional Central American dish migas while picking up a few culinary techniques. At the end of the class, each student was given a taste of the completed dish.
