\nA:<\/strong> \u201cWell, a lot of students asked me many times over the last year to start a club like this, and this year I finally said ‘YES! We can do this!” This is my second year here, so I felt comfortable diving into something new. I also love to eat and make international cuisine, so I wanted to share that with as many people as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Q: What are your plans for the club\u2019s future?<\/strong> Q: What has been the most rewarding aspect of leading the club?<\/strong> Q: What advice would you give someone new to cooking?<\/strong> Q: What are some skills you develop in the Culinary Club outside of cooking?<\/strong> Q: How does your club foster a sense of community among its members?<\/strong> Q: What is your favorite recipe to make?<\/strong> Currently the club is at full capacity for this year.<\/p>\n If you are interested in cooking, Ms. Bigelow and Ms. Hawkins encourage you to start searching for and taking culinary classes and then apply for the club as openings may become available next year. The application process includes a series of questions to assess your genuine interest in cooking due to the club\u2019s high demand. If you have any questions about the club or cooking classes, feel free to contact them.<\/p>\n
\nA:<\/strong> \u201cIf we can get fundraising off the ground\u2014which has been a little bit of a struggle at first\u2014I would like to take some field trips to explore cuisines outside of the Odenton area. Some of our ideas include going to DC and visiting Union Market, which has a variety of food stalls. If we were ever able to raise enough money for a bigger trip, New York City would be great because the international food scene is exceptional.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nA:<\/strong> \u201cI just love being with the students. I love teaching them new things and getting them excited about new experiences they haven\u2019t had before. It\u2019s fun to be with people when they\u2019re exploring and tasting new things.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nA:<\/strong> \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to fail. In failure, you often learn how to actually do things well. Sometimes you have to fail to know how to fix a problem. That\u2019s one thing I love about cooking.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nA:<\/strong> \u201cI think problem-solving is a big one\u2014being inquisitive and asking quality questions. Because we\u2019re exploring five different cuisines, I hope they\u2019re building curiosity about what they\u2019re hearing, tasting, and planning to make in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nA:<\/strong> \u201cA lot of the students already know each other, but others are meeting completely new people they wouldn\u2019t normally interact with in school. Ms. Hawkins and I help foster the community, but the students are the ones doing all the work.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nA:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019ve been making this sweet potato chowder at home. You saut\u00e9 bacon and vegetables, blend everything together, and then add coconut milk and chipotle peppers. Oh my gosh, it\u2019s so good! You top it with cilantro and bacon bits\u2026 Delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Arundel-Cooking-Club-Teachers-768x1024.png\")
