On Monday, November 23, 10 teens in our S.T.A.R.S Program will be participating in a cooking challenge. The S.T.A.R.S. cooking challenge will be stylized as a cook-off, where two five-person teams will prepare a dish using specific ingredients. A panel of five judges will select the winning team based on the creativity, taste, and presentation of their dish. “Carver’s staff is beaming with excitement over our very own ‘Iron Chef’ challenge as this will be a wonderful introduction into the culinary arts for our teens.” said Executive Director and panelist Kerry Walsh. In preparation of the cooking challenge, two local chefs are teaching the participants various culinary techniques that they will use to create their dishes.
Carver’s Teen Program is known as S.T.A.R.S., which stands for Supporting Teens in Academics, Recreation, and Socialization. S.T.A.R.S. is a youth engagement program for teenagers in 9th-12th grade which offers a comprehensive menu of academic, athletic, cultural, and social programs and events.
