On Monday May 12th, the Italian club at Garden City Middle School visited the “Well-Seasoned Chef,” a culinary school in town to prepare a delicious 5-course, Italian-inspired meal. Students prepared each dish from scratch using their hands. Sophia Brivio, the owner of the school, demonstrated and guided the students as they made fresh pesto, hand-made fettuccine, meatballs, hand-rolled garlic knots, and even vanilla gelato.
Students enjoyed the collective experience of preparing a meal from start to finish and eating together as a community on the beautiful patio outside. They were able to taste their creations, which were a huge success because everything was “buonissimo.” This was an exceptional experience for the students at Garden City Middle school as they put the skills they learned to use immediately and reaped the benefits of their efforts. They can’t wait to visit the Well-Seasoned chef again soon!
