Guest chef visits SJHS

Mrs. Luke is mixing it up in the foods room. Students are cooking foreign cuisine and salads. A guest chef visited Mrs. Luke’s eighth and ninth grade food classes on March 21st. Brian Smith, Mrs. Luke’s brother-in-law, came to demonstrate a variety of foods for her students. Katelynn Marshall, ninth-grade student, said, “I liked it when he came.  It was really fun to learn to make all that food and watch him make it.”

Chef Brian Smith has been coming every semester to Mrs. Luke’s food classes for six years now. Mrs. Luke, foods teacher, said, “He comes because he loves to share great recipes and it’s always fun to have people come in and share new techniques and ideas.”

Chef Brian cooked various types of Japanese food: Ma Po tofu, miso (a Japanese soup), Cucumber pickles and Inarizushi (tofu with pork dish) for Mrs. Luke‘s ninth graders. Christie Baugh, another ninth grader, said, “I liked most of what he cooked, it was different and tasty.”

For Mrs. Luke’s eighth graders, Chef Brian cooked some healthy and tasty salads! The salads included cilantro lime coleslaw, Tony’s salad, balsamic vinaigrette, and oriental cabbage salad.

According to Mrs. Luke, Chef Brian LOVES to cook. He’s constantly trying out new recipes, and he is always excited when we plan the day each semester for him to come. Chef Brian will most definitely come back next year.
