Slaton High School Culinary Students Cook Up Creativity!

The kitchen is buzzing with excitement at Slaton High School as Culinary and Advanced Culinary students dive into some delicious lessons!

This week, our Intro to Culinary students are exploring the building blocks of great salads and sandwiches—from fresh, crisp greens to perfectly layered, flavor-packed sandwiches. It’s a hands-on experience that teaches not just technique, but also creativity and presentation. A colorful and tasty lesson, indeed!  

Meanwhile, our Culinary and Advanced Culinary students are rolling up their sleeves (literally!) for the baked goods unit. These aspiring chefs are learning the art of kneading, proofing, and baking this classic Italian bread. The kitchen smells amazing as they experiment with toppings like fresh herbs, garlic, and even artistic veggie designs.

But the highlight of the week? A sweet surprise for Chef Jessica Kelly! The students put their skills to the test and baked a special birthday cake to celebrate their instructor. It was a thoughtful and delicious way to show their appreciation—proving that beyond the recipes and techniques, they’re also learning the joy of sharing food with others. 

Under Chef Kelly’s guidance, Slaton High School’s culinary students are gaining essential skills, confidence in the kitchen, and a deeper appreciation for the art of cooking. Stay tuned for more mouthwatering creations from these talented young chefs!
