I teach culinary arts at a high school, and I want to get the students more involved in the flow of the class. I came up with a concept that I think would be fun and I want to get input from others. The idea is simple: there are two columns. Column one has a list of specific foods, for example: buffalo wing, eggs Benedict, Philly cheesesteak, etc. The second column has very basic foods, for example: burrito, spring roll, nachos, burger, etc.
The idea is to take something from column one and combine it with something from column two resulting in such creations as an eggs Benedict burger, chicken pot pie spring rolls, Philly cheese steak tacos... You get the picture. I wanted to get some ideas for the two columns or maybe some input as to how I could better this concept. The key is to get the students involved in the decision-making process which in turn I feel will make them more passionate about what they're doing.
