Culinary Arts

Cinnamon Apple Chips | Carrie's Experimental Kitchen #apples #glutenfree #vegetarian: For one of my art projects this semester I signed up for culinary arts. I decided to make baked cinnamon apple slices. For the recipe for the apples that I made click here.  I decided on this for two reasons. First, I know that one person in my class is a vegetarian, so I wanted to make sure I made something that she could enjoy with us. Second, I also knew that a lot of my classmates were dieting at the time and again I wanted everyone to be able to enjoy what I made.

They turned out very good and I even liked them better warmed up! I have made them a few times since then for my family.

This project got me thinking of the different ways that culinary arts could be used in a classroom. Two things came to my mind. First was the nutritional aspect that comes with food. Some kids don’t have the access to healthy foods that others do, so bringing in these nutritious and healthy foods will broaden their horizons when it comes to food. The second thing that came to my mind was learning more about different cultures. Food is a major aspect in every culture, so seeing and eating it gives a greater insight into those cultures.
