That’s a wrap on the Fall 2026 Culinary Program!

Today was the LAST day of the program for our Fall 2026 cohort, and these 10 weeks literally flew by!

We had a very busy final day as our students prepared food for tomorrow’s graduation AND participated in internships at The Lobby, gaining valuable hands-on experience with both front-of-house and back-of-house tasks.

A very special thank-you to Chesapeake Church for welcoming us into their kitchen space today so our students could prepare graduation food, The Lobby for hosting our students and providing real-world work experience, and one of our awesome job coaches, Ms. Debbie, for supporting our students throughout their internships!

What a way to finish 10 incredible weeks of learning, growth, confidence-building, and workforce preparation.

Next up: GRADUATION! 🎓

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month!

This year’s theme, “Celebrating Value and Talent,” is a powerful reminder that people with disabilities bring valuable skills, talents, perspectives, and contributions to workplaces and communities every day.

In our Culinary Program, we see that value and talent in action.

Our students aren’t just learning how to cook. They’re building workplace skills, gaining confidence, practicing teamwork and communication, learning what it means to be part of a professional kitchen, and preparing for meaningful employment in the community.

Through culinary training, job matching, and job coaching, we work alongside our students as they take the next steps toward employment and greater independence.

This NDEAM, we’re proud to celebrate the value and talent of every one of our students and the many contributions people with disabilities make to our workforce.

Because talent deserves an opportunity to be seen, developed, and put to work.

Happy National Disability Employment Awareness Month!

Nutrition Lesson in the Kitchen! 🫐

Our students put their nutrition knowledge into practice during a hands-on muffin challenge!

Students divided into teams and prepared two different batches of blueberry muffins: one designed as a healthier option and another that was a little less nutritious.

After a taste test, they explored how ingredients can impact the nutritional value of a recipe and discussed ways to make thoughtful choices in the kitchen.

A delicious way to learn that healthy cooking can still be creative, practical, and fun!

🍳 BREAKFAST COOK-OFF! 🥞

Our Culinary students put their skills to the test with a fun Breakfast Cook-Off! Students were split into two teams and challenged to create a delicious, complete breakfast from scratch.

🥪 Team 1 created a mouthwatering egg, turkey & cheese breakfast sandwich, served with house-made hot honey cream cheese, house-made guacamole, a fresh fruit salad, and breakfast potatoes.

🫐 Team 2 served up lemon blueberry pancakes topped with their own house-made blueberry sauce, alongside cheesy eggs and breakfast potatoes.

From preparation and teamwork to presentation and flavor, our students put so much thought and effort into their dishes. We are incredibly proud of the skills they continue to build throughout the Culinary Program!

A HUGE thank you to our wonderful guest judges for joining us, tasting the students’ creations, and encouraging them!❤️

What a delicious way to put their culinary skills into action! ✨

Learning from the pros!

Our students had the opportunity to visit Chef Ron at Brick Wood Fired Bistro in Prince Frederick and get a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to work in a professional kitchen.

We’re so grateful to Chef Ron for welcoming our students, sharing his experience, and giving them the chance to learn more about the food service industry right here in our community!

Experiences like this help our students connect the skills they’re learning in the Culinary Program to real-world opportunities.
