Iron Chef Potluck
Rachel’s World Cultures: The Global Potluck class celebrated diversity, food, and the end of the semester with a potluck for students and staff. Students drew a surprise ingredient from a cup, used that ingredient in a dish, and researched a culture connected with that dish, including the challenges and barriers it has faced historically and in the present. They then presented their cooking to the class and other students! The food was phenomenal and the discussion was sizzling!
