Christina with Mandy Randolph’s Class making pumpkin tarts from scratch.
By Madie Murray
She’s back, and we’re excited! On Thursday, May 17, our Island Celebrity Chef and author, Christina Orchid, will be our public school’s Celebrity Chef, working with the cafeteria staff to prepare and serve Garlic-Smoked Paprika Chicken, corn pudding and rhubarb crumble for dessert as only Christina can make! Ciabatta Bread, prepared by the cafeteria staff will also be on the menu. YUM! Are we lucky or what?!
Christina has given, and continues to give, so much to our public school. She has worked with Mandy’s Farm to Classroom kids making breads and tarts from scratch and showing them how to fillet a salmon. She volunteered as a judge for this year’s Student Chef Competition and she has been our Celebrity Chef at school twice before. For our last Community Meal at School, she worked tirelessly with Mandy’s kids making hundreds of rolls. And that’s just a few of the countless ways she has given her valuable time and energy to our public school and the Farm to Cafeteria Program.
Not just the kids get to enjoy her lunch on this special day. Everyone is welcome from 11:30 to 12:45 on Thursday, May 17 for Christina’s lunch. And the price is certainly right…adults are only $5 and that includes a trip to the salad bar and a beverage.
