Day 5: "Chopped" Challenge
Shopping trip! The group will venture out for a short expedition to the food markets dotting Chinatown and Little Italy (all within a block of our school) to shop for ingredients to create a meal of their own making. Students will be divided into groups of two and, with the chef's guidance, create a meal from scratch using the ingredients they purchase (and our extensive pantry) and the techniques they've learned over the week of cooking together.
