CELEBRITY GUEST CHEFS As part of an ongoing partnership, this spring chef ambassadors from the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) spent two days teaching at the Sonia Gutierrez Campus. The first day culinary arts students worked sideby-side in the Marriott Culinary Arts Lab to assist the chefs in preparing for the following day’s cooking demonstration. Published author and award-winning chef Frederic Sonnenschmidt then gave a charcuterie demonstration highlighting sausage recipes from his book. The following day Chef Paul Prosperi and Chef Sonnenschmidt presented a cooking demonstration to a packed audience. Pastry Chef Prosperi made tiramisu while Chef Sonnenschmidt prepared an “Out of Africa” medley weaving stories of culture and history into his tilapia and couscous. Sonia Gutierrez Campus Principal Dr. Jorge Delgado said, “The CIA event opens the eyes of the students to other possibilities they never dreamed of. Adult education is about motivation and this event is a prime example of how we motivate our students.” DR.
