tomatoes and kaleFor the fifth year in a row, Rock Point School sent a team to the state-wide Junior Iron Chef Competition at the Champlain Valley Exposition. Junior Iron Chef, in its eighth year, is a cooking showcase and competition organized by Vermont FEED (Food Education Every Day) and Burlington School Food Project. Student teams create healthy recipes, focusing on local ingredients, that could possibly be served in their schools. With over 260 students from 61 schools across the state, competition can be tough! Our team, consisting of three students, worked over the past several months to develop a recipe for tomatoes stuffed with quinoa and kale. Throughout this time, students had to focus on teamwork, communication, and time management. While they did not win, we are proud of all the work they put into the competition and are so glad to taste the delicious product!Cooking
