Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Luke are the foods teachers at SJHS. Foods is a class you can take when you are in eighth or ninth grade. According to Mrs. Luke and Mrs. Murray, students make lots of yummy recipes for occasions and learn about different food groups and new cooking techniques. They also make yummy foods for the holidays, and in ninth grade, students make recipes from around the world.
There are many students in the foods class, and they enjoy it. Sage Bowers, an eighth grader at SJHS, said, “You learn to do it right, and it is not hard.” According to another eighth grader, Austin Mortensen, it is an easy A class, and it is not an intense class. According to Gabi Holly an eighth grader, it is a really fun class if you like eating food and cooking.
Another eighth grader, Ximena Jimenez, said, “You get to learn new recipes and try new food.”.
According to Mrs. Luke and Mrs. Murray some of the things the eighth and ninth graders have made so far are scones, smoothies, taco salad and muffins. The ninth graders have made pasta from scratch, Scandinavian raspberry ribbons, Icelandic pancakes, chimichangas, Mexican wedding cookies and Brazilian limeade.
Hannah Mason, an eighth grader at SJHS, was recently in a cooking competition. According to Hannah Mason, this competition took place in Salt Lake City, and it is kind of a tradition in their family to do this every year. She said, “My dad has done this with my two other sisters, and it was my turn to do it with him.” She adds, “It was a really big place and there were 10 groups with two people in each group. We had to make three meals with the ingredients they gave us. It was kind of like the show Chopped. Our first dish was apple and bacon chimichangas. Our next dish was scallion and mango pancakes, and for our last dish we made a thai stir fry. In the end, we ended up winning second place and got a 50 dollar gift card to Smith's.”
In conclusion the foods class is amazing, and Mrs. Luke and Mrs. Murray are amazing teachers, and put a lot of money and time into their job and strive to make their students succeed.
