When most people think of culinary arts class they think of people learning how to cook a soufflé or making some kind of exquisite dinner, and then they are able to feast on it.
That is not the case with Homer High’s culinary class. On Mondays and Tuesdays students read books and do paper work on how not to spread germs.
In response to this Mrs. Casseri, the teacher of the class, stated, ”It’s important for students to learn how to do this, because it is the first thing you learn if you decide to go into this profession. Besides we can’t cook on those days because we wouldn’t have enough time.”
Students are also dissatisfied with the type of food Mrs. Casseri is having them cook: eggs.
Yes, eggs seem to be the only thing that students are learning to cook, and it’s causing dissatisfaction.
When Megan Garoutte, a student in the class, was asked about the subject she stated, “I would rather learn how to make actual meals, or at least something that isn’t just an egg.”
When Ben Lowe, a senior who has taken this class before, was asked if he found that only cooking eggs was interesting he replied, “ It was ok for a starting course, but it started to become boring, except for the time we had to Eggs-periment with different ways of cooking eggs, and our egg sort of egg-sploded.”
Bad egg puns aside, Mrs. Casseri hopes to start using cake recipes.
