Under the guidance of Chef Carlin Breinig, the club members will learn kitchen etiquette and technique while they recreate recipes, add their own touches, and of course, sample the finished product. Consistent satisfactory conduct is required for safety. Inappropriate conduct will result in dismissal from the club. Club membership is limited to twenty-five for safety reasons. (Due to the club’s popularity, a lottery system was held for first semester, and twenty-five members will receive their invitations in homeroom. There will be another lottery held in December for second semester membership.) |
