Esquimalt High School's Culinary program is exceptional

"Yes, Chef!" certainly rings out as acknowledgement in the kitchen and prep area at Esquimalt High School. Brandon Aris has been guiding the culinary program here for 15 years. Students learn food safety, knife skills, programing and planning, and how to turn ingredients into a meal. From basics and essentials they move into presentation and plating: we eat with our eyes first! I encountered Chef Aris at Rainbow Kitchen during one of their community events and sat back and watched the team of young people confidently go about serving a crowd. I think you will find this conversation inspiring. Apologies for some electronic interference, but it is generally quite short and not overly distracting.
