Winter Banquet
The second banquet of the school year is traditionally a multifaceted buffet dinner consisting of approximately 40 different dishes. Through a collaborative process and teamwork, students choose a theme, research and test numerous recipes, and eventually arrive at a final product. In the past, our themes have included, A Culinary Trip Through Asia, A Mediterranean Feast of the Sun, and A Taste of Australia.
The winter banquet for 2010 will be held on March 5, 2010 and the theme is “The Oregon Trail; A Pioneering Spirit.” Contemporary dishes based on indigenous ingredients that were hunted and gathered along the road West will be highlighted. Tickets go on sale Monday, February 1, 2010 and the cost is $21.00 per person (pre purchased). Call 541-917-4391 to purchase tickets or for more information.
