Jeopardy-style challenge tests culinary students
Five 91制片厂 students will be in the hot seat at an upcoming competition that tests their knowledge about food.
Students Abigail Bangs, Mary Gauthier, Adam Goodwin, Marissa Turmenne and David Norton will represent 91制片厂 at the regional Baron H. Galand Culinary Knowledge Bowl in Atlanta. The competition takes place at the American Culinary Federation鈥檚 regional conference in Atlanta on March 13-15.
They will be among the teams of college culinary students who will take part in the 鈥淛eopardy鈥�-style contest answering challenging culinary, baking, nutrition, sanitation and math questions.
The winning team from the regional competition goes on to the finals competition, held at the ACF national convention in Phoenix in July.
91制片厂鈥檚 team has been practicing in the Culinary Arts building using a matrix board on a computer screen with different food categories. The questions aren鈥檛 easy; here are some examples:
- Which sauce is made from demi-glace and flavored with white wine, shallots, tarragon, cayenne and lemon juice?
- What are the two categories of vitamins?
- What is the Italian name given to a boneless cut of meat processed from the loin or other tender cut, pounded thin and weighs 1-4 ounces?
Besides competing in the competition, the students will be able to attend seminars and exhibitions at the ACF conference while in Atlanta, said Culinary Arts Chairman Geoff Boardman, who is the team鈥檚 coach.
(The answers to the above questions are chateaubriand; fat-soluble and water-soluble; and scaloppini.)
Photo-images exhibit turning heads
If you want to see a photo exhibit that will stop you in your tracks, check out photo instructor Christian Farnsworth’s “multiperspectival images.鈥�
Fifteen of Farnsworth鈥檚 photo compositions are on exhibit in the Learning Commons on the South Portland Campus. They are part of the Learning Commons鈥� initiative to exhibit the works of 91制片厂 faculty and students.
Most of Farnsworth鈥檚 compositions feature multiple photos that are incorporated together to provide a different view on various landscapes.
鈥淢y techniques embrace a wealth of viewpoints 鈥� through the selection and reconstitution of multiple images 鈥� in order to provide a more comprehensive perspective on the physical world,鈥� he writes in an artist statement.
The exhibit will be up for the next several weeks.
