Miami-Dade schools are unlocking the mystery of meat and much more. Some top chefs are lending their top talents to the schools, revamping the menus so cafeteria food isn’t just, you know, cafeteria food. The sights and sounds of creating yummy yet healthy desserts.
At the kitchen at Edison Senior High, are two of Miami’s top chefs whipping up some delicious treats. One of them is Michelle Bernstein who owns Michy’s and is a guest judge on Top Chef.
Kris Wessel owns Red Light Restaruant in Miami. The High School students were baking with students from Edison’s Culinary program.
“And to teach them that there’s other ways of making a lot of foods that they recognize into healthy”Michelle Bernstein, but still tasty and very approachable.”
Like brownies with very little oil using dates and applesauce instead.
10th grader Rodney Milfrid says “I was thinking like wow, this is going to taste pretty nasty. But it came out, it smelled real good.”
Kris Wessel says “if the other students in the school are seeing an effort by their classmates to produce quality food, well, that may drop one more barrier to trying the food.”
The Miami-Dade County police schools chief partnership program also works with the food service staff on a monthly basis.
Penny Parham of Miami-Dade Public Schools says “we want out students to choose healthier foods. We want the fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade food items to be their lunch of choice.”
Not only are they helping to create better food, they’re also providing some inspiration.
