Students at Sentinel Secondary channeled their inner Bobby Flay during the school’s second annual Iron Chef Culinary Competition held Tuesday.
The event featured half a dozen teams composed of three or four students each. The competition was organized by the school’s home economics department, and was open to students in grades 8 to 12 as an extracurricular activity.
Each team was tasked with creating a main dish and dessert, using the coveted secret ingredient, with a little more than an hour to get their dishes cooked, plated and served.
This year’s secret ingredient was cream cheese, which students had to find a way to incorporate into their main dish and dessert.
The winning dish was composed by students Louisa Gross, Dornaz Almasizadeh and Dorsa Nilforoush, who made a pasta and chicken dish, along with tiramisu for dessert.
