Okanagan College students in the Culinary Arts program spent the day making a holiday dinner for 500 people at Parkinson Rec Centre.
The students prepped the turkeys, stuffing, veggies and gravy for the 15th annual Christmas Day dinner hosted by Victory Life Fellowship set to take place on Dec. 25th.
“Cooking for this meal is a wonderful opportunity for the students and chefs to give back to the community. Everyone takes pride in participating knowing that it’s going to mean a nice holiday meal for those who otherwise might not have had one,” says Stufano.
“It’s also a great learning opportunity for the students. They learn how to cook in volume while maintaining a high standard of quality.”
Okanagan College welcomes a new batch of eager culinary students each January and according to OC Culinary Manager Chef Vincent Stufano, the real world demand for cooks is high.
