In a pilot to be replicated at all the schools with culinary programs, Hoover's Chef Tina Luu began distributing food kits for culinary students to experience food labs at home. CCTE provided the food items and Chef Luu prepared the items for distribution. Following COVID-19 guidelines, the food kits weredistributed to students. The food provided is aligned with the curriculum of the Culinary Arts and Management course. Chef Luu is already providing the video content for students to create their own dishes.
With the pilot's success, CCTE and the culinary teachers will be providing students essential kitchen tools as well as the food kits to make sure the online experience students have is as hands on as possible. We are working with SDUSD's Food Services to make the distribution as smooth as possible. Congrats to Chef Luu!
