The Culinary Cup at Los Angeles Mission College brought together student chefs from three colleges to compete in categories of savory dishes, pastries, and tablescaping. As a judge, author Gustavo Arellano experienced firsthand the energy of the event, which emphasized not only culinary skills but also community engagement. Hundreds attended to watch students shine, with additional activities like live music from the school choir and culinary demonstrations enhancing the experience. The event highlighted the dedication of students and instructors alike, providing a platform for creative expression through food.
As a judge, I was tasked not just with tasting, but also with critically assessing every small detail, from the cleanliness of the glasses to the precision of folded napkins.
The Culinary Cup isn't just a competition; it's a vibrant celebration of culinary talent, showcasing multiple aspects of Caribbean cuisine and fostering community among students.
