On Tuesday, 28 November, two Year 11 DC students joined the visit to the International Culinary Institute (ICI) to learn about the Career-related course leading to the Certificate in Culinary Arts & Hospitality (Level 3). They were given a tour around campus facilities including kitchens for different cuisines, a herb garden, pizzeria, and others. The chef Georges Ringeisen demonstrated the process of cooking a three cheese souffle and a salad. Students then were provided with an appropriate attire, a kitchen space, and product supplies to prepare these two delicious recipes themselves. Students demonstrated great team work, positive attitude, initiative and problem-solving skills.
